Title: Hancom Word -- data loss on a sleeping 760
Post by: derekpearcy on May 17, 2004, 06:52:53 pm

I was running Hancom Word on a plane, cranking out a quick 1,000-word report. The device started to run low on battery so I closed it, which I presumed would put it to sleep. While working on the file, I\'d been regularly saving it both to internal memory and to the SD card.

When I got home and plugged it back in, the files -- both internally and on the SD card -- were 0 kb in size. In fact, all my Hancom Word files were 0 kb. Worse, opening them showed the files to be empty.

This is exceptionally uncool. Anyone have any idea what might\'ve happened? I\'m in the process of dd-ing the SD card and then searching the resulting file for my data -- I\'m fairly certain it\'s on there somewhere, but Hancom Word certainly dropped the ball (or, more to the point, the directory\'s pointer to the actual data) on this one.

Anyone seen this before?

Derek

I\'m using CACkO Qtopia ROM 1.20 1438050304. I did a dd of the SD card and found some text of some older Hancom Word files, but not the piece of text that I was looking for. Think 1.21 addresses this?

Ah: I just saw:

- Fixed problem with HancomWord not saving MSWord and text files

. . . in the 1.21 release notes. That the sort of problem you were seeing before, then?
