========= Sernario: ========= When a user modifies a file in Notepad++, and the time of periodic backup (defaulted to 7 seconds) is reached, the backup of the modified file is being written. However, if a power outage occurs during this precise moment while the file is being written, file corruption may occur. ======= Remedy: ======= The goal is to maintain a non-corrupted file sample even during power outages. Here are the steps: 0. Begin 1. Write the file A as A.temp 2. Replace A by A.temp 3. End During these steps, the cutoff can happen at any moment, but the user will always have a non-corrupted file sample (either A or A.temp). ===== Note: ===== The solution is only applied to "new #" files, since these files are generally small in length and do not have a second "physical" file existing on the hard drive. ref: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/6133#issuecomment-1987037043 Fix #6133, close #14860
