GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 501125
Running older version overwrites database!
Last modified: 2007-12-03 10:27:40 UTC
Please describe the problem: I was testing out some things in SVN (11.3) and all was going well. But then I loaded up my stable version again (11.2) and it popped up a message saying the database was created by a newer version of RB and cannot be read. That would be fine. But I have "Watch my library for new files" checked... I'm guessing this may be why it then proceeded to re-create (and overwrite) my existing database. :o Sh*t... It should at least make a backup of the existing DB... Luckily, I have an automatically created backup from when I opened it in emacs (quite) a while ago. And to think I was going to disable that feature! :D Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
The intention was that rhythmbox would refuse to save the database when it had been unable to read it on startup, but unfortunately the implementation was broken. I've fixed it now.
