Lost data

Thu Jul 11, 2013 1:15 pm
Hi, I've noticed a weird stuff happening to my skrooge document.
I cannot replicate it (have no idea how it happens), but it happnes to me more than twice. Different versions of skrooge did this.
Here is the situation. I use skrooge on more than one machine. I open my document remotely mounted to each machine. Versions of skrooge are allways the same on each machine. There are no concurency on the document (only one skrooge instance have the document opened at any time). I regulary save the document and the document is automatically backed up to remote storage (once a day).
And a problem that occured is. I edit a document, even more times a day (meaning shut down skrooge and start it again opening the document). Save it and open it again, noticing changes are really there and saved. Then later that day, opened on a different machine document looks like no changes ever happned.
I know about a file *.old but that is a same story. Like every change I did that day never happened.
It is frustrating when I add a lot of transactions.

I'm not saying it is some error in skrooge, it probably is not. But I'll be glad if someone could point me where and when this could happen.
Thanks a lot.

When you open the skrooge document from the second computer, do you have a message saying that the document has been restored ?

If you operate on the file locally, and then copy it back to the remote mount once you are finished (and have closed Skrooge), does this occur?

No message about restoring and no it does not happen while copy file to remote. But as I say it happens inconsistently, and it also works OK most of the time (except this unexpected error)
Also as I mentioned it is probably some settings error, could be mounting cache or whatever I'm not aware of.
Most likely it is not a skrooge error.
Eventhough thanks for trying to help.
