Description

@Doublonmousse

JabRef version

5.12 (latest release)

Operating system

macOS

Details on version and operating system

Sonoma 14.2, M2

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. wait for jabref to crash on a .bib file ...
  2. reopen jabref
  3. restore the backup for the .bib file
  4. The backup is always empty and erases the bib file every single time

Appendix

EDIT : There is actually a review backup button.

I think there should be a warning inviting to review the backup before proceeding if it's empty or small compared to the current .bib file

If I hadn't saved my .bib file in a local .git repository, it would have been erased multiple times by Jabref.

This all happened on an external drive
