Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 799006
can't save vym map
Last modified: 2012-03-24 15:12:02 EDT
Description of problem: I can't save my vym map. Not even export to something else. I can try only save as, not save. After 'save as' are shown again and again error messages: Critical error - Couldn't start zip to compress data. The file on the map on disk has changed: /tmp/vym-zip-*/a.xml I tried save as xml or vym file. I also installed zip, which wasn't installed (required) by vym. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vym-1.13.41-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Create some map and try 'save as' preferably in vym format.
Did installing zip resolve the problem? I've not run into this, but I've been running 2.x for some time.
After restart of application it started to work. Why isn't vym requiring zip? Saving *.vym map is the basic function of this tool.
Well color me surprised. In the nearly 5 years I've been using and maintaining this package, this has never come up, but sure enough, a quick look at the source shows that it indeed calls the command-line zip and unzip. It also calls cp. I suspect that the reason I've not seen this before is that zip, unzip, and, so help me, coreutils, are all in the Base or Core comps groups, and so are on the vast majority of systems. Nevertheless, they should be required. I'll get a fix out for all releases ASAP. Thanks!
Many packages don't have all requires correctly in spec-file, but usually no-one noticed. I have only minimal net install and KDE, so I've never have zip installed. Thanks for fix.
