Show in explorer kills unsaved data
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2025 15:38
I found a bug in Advanced Output.
When I click on Show in Explorer, the currently opened file is reverted to the last saved state.
Additionally, the Back button is also reset, making the data unrecoverable.
Of course, you should save frequently, but if you assume that CTRL+S works—as I did—it can lead to major data loss.
When I spend hours building polygons, I don’t open the dropdown to save, nor do I click on Save and Close.
That’s why I’m also submitting a feature request.
