Description Mikael Hallendal 2005-05-12 13:11:46 UTC 
Currently it's possible for Blam to corrupt it's datafile by a number of ways. Should write to a temporary 
file and then use move to move it over the old file.

Comment 4 Michael Monreal 2005-10-03 10:17:04 UTC 
For a few weeks now i'm unable to use blam because it always resets the
subscriptions to the ones it ships with when restarted. I originally reported
bug 303890 but the problem was fixed for a long time, now it happens again. The
program needs notably longer to close (around 3 seconds) and during this time it
screws all the subscriptions you've made. 
As blam itself didn't see much development in recent times I suspect this is due
incompatiblity with some newer version of the dependencies but I havn't found
out what triggers this, yet. Currently using: mono-1.1.9, gtk-sharp-1.0.10 and
gecko-sharp-0.6
