AsciidocFX 1.8.6 deleted the content of files - and save them

[manueljordan]

Not sure how the following situation happened but was a disaster.

AsciidocFX 1.8.6 deleted the content of files.

More details in:

• How to retrieve the deleted content of an uncommitted file?

I can't reproduce this.

Sorry, that happened. We should bring some history mechanism for files that users can revert to any point in the history of the file.

Something I did do realize is that It has by default autosave, it is really dangerous. I mean, it does not have the default behavior that if the file is edited and is attempt to close it then appears a dialog window to confirm or cancel the changes. Therefore currently the editor never show that expected dialog window, simply it saves and closes the file.

I also encountered the problem of clearing files.

My situation is:

I use AsciidocFX to open a xxx.adoc
At the same time, I also used gedit to open the same xxx.adoc file

But gedit pops up that xxx.adoc has been modified externally. Do you want to reload it?
The problem is, I didn't edit xxx.adoc in AsciidocFX.

Then I selected to reload in gedit and found that the reloaded xxx.adoc became empty.
