Must have been the phases of the moon or something. Thanks for fixing it
quantum-mechanics-style simply by turning your attention toward it! :)

   Ha!  Computers are afraid of me.

   Lock file problems tend to happen when rg crashes.  My best guess is
that it was crashing when it was going down and now it isn't.

Ted.


Another way that's caught me (rather more often than I'd like to admit) is
shutting down the desktop, without first shutting down Rosegarden.

Didn't do that!

Wasn't there some discussion on adding some kind of time stamp to the lock
file, so that it will ignore one that was (say) over 24 hour old.

I don't remember if there was a timestamp in the orphaned lockfile, but it clearly wouldn't have been over 24 hours old.

A thought occurred to me: When RG opens a project and finds a lockfile, maybe have the dialog box that informs the user a lockfile exists give them a warning about possible consequences with an option to delete the lockfile?

Then if something gets messed up because 2 different RG sessions have the same project open, it's because the user chose to do it.
