Great loss as it seems Cuda did not auto-save files

Post by LuureAmet »

Greetings,

There was only one specific reason i used cuda, that it had one of the few out of tens of editors tested, automatic text save feature,
While it should be primary for all text editors, it is rare, as it prevents data loss during crashes.

When I first saw text-work recovery when I closed Cudatex I trusted it would do so when it crashed.
So I jumped right back to work and did a great deal of work on the new unsaved tabs.
when the computer freezes if overused in the browser (that is normal in my work) so I did not worry at first, but after the restart, I did not find any way to recover files anywhere.

Where should it be ?

I did not find anything there:

/usr/bin/cudatext
/usr/share/cudatext/
/usr/share/applications/cudatext.desktop
/home/luure/.config/cudatext/
/root/.config/cudatext/

Debian based linux.
Linux TeabeAmet 5.10.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.103-1 (2022-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux



Did not find any files " "history files.json" in the "settings" folder. "

https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText
https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/bl ... istory.txt

Now i can not be even sure, that SublimeText (shareware) would handle the crash as well..
This one also has this nice design similar to Yours.



This would be a really great loss.

What other "out of the box" restoring-text-work option ready text editors there are, besides notapadQ, which has another strange way of recovering that I am not particularly pleased with. But at least there has newer been any loss of work.

Why such an elementary task, such as saving unsaved documents, has become such a complicated task in Linux editors by 2022, is like some kind of conspiracy (as people who need it they can not use the "press save" option, as our minds do not work well by doing tasks that are outside the needs of the present moment.)

It's been the default feature for Microsoft Word since ancient times, just to give an ironic sample.
I'd rather have trash files, data leaks, temp unsaved files on some folder, than a data loss that cannot be recovered. We work with creative things that cannot be recovered or re-done.

>after recover, i did not find any way no recover files anywhere.
Saved session file must be in
~/.config/cudatext/settings/*.json
if you did not 'save session' to custom path (to different dir).
Default file name is history*.json.

Option "ui_session_save_interval" must be set (by default it's 30 seconds).
Recommended CudaText is 1.162+ (not too old).


if you give me 'steps' which you do in CudaText, which give loss of data, I will try to fix it.
one of 'steps' can be 'crash'.
use HTOP program to crash.

OH my god.. all my detailed reply also gone... as forum let me write it, on reply, and when post it re-asked credentials and then ...again lost.
After years of hundreds of losses testing tens of distros, all the text editors can find... it seems all comes to crash to me today. Struggling to stay sane.

nothing particular interesting on screen videos i try to make, seems to work all, just "close all" option should have not just selection "cansel / ok" but also "save all" and "do not save all" options, or if we want to close 50 tabs and not save them it have to do one by one seems to me now)

It all saves it normally, can not think any reason of any combination of what ever reason of crash that would Delete the Saved file i can see cuda makes now..

And there is no normal keylogger in linux to help me , just for windows there is: https://www.blazingtools.com/bpk.html (2 sides of chat record, text based on window, emailing logs, log calendar explorer, password hidding etc)

Linux there is almost some but can not really find anything that works,. Extremely commonly needed productivity tool just missing

https://github.com/jagguvarma15/AdvancedKeylogger
https://github.com/Stealerium/Stealerium
https://github.com/gokulrajanpillai/AndroidKeyLogger
https://github.com/PixelCoda/keylogger


Can You recommend me some keylogger softwares that would secure my life ?



I work on vision based methods and what is loss is loss, can not recover it or re-do, what it is is long and complicated to explain.

I watched 2 videos here

https://youtu.be/XceaO5Ndb5k?t=420
https://youtu.be/d7O5upbjMw4

and I don't see in videos, how Cud fails. you tried to kill Cud. in HTOP. you closed Cud. and after it, file 'settings/history session.json' was full of old data. file had size 30K. so no data loss.

PS. I cannot discuss keyloggers here, and also I don't know about them
