Mantid appears to "save over" previously opened project

Reported by: Peter Parker Owned by: Robert Whitley
Priority: major Milestone: Release 2.1
Component: MantidPlot Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Stuart Campbell

Description

Reported by Timmy. To reproduce:

  • Start Mantid.
  • Load a data file into a workspace.
  • Do "File"->"Save Project As..." to save the project.
  • Do "File"->"New"->"New Project" to create a new project.
  • Note that "File"->"Save"->"Project" is now available as a clickable menu item, even though nothing has been modified since the new project has been created.
  • Save the project via this method anyway.
  • Close Mantid.
  • Start up Mantid again and load the originally saved project via "File"->"Recent Projects".

The contents of the project will now appear to have been "saved over" as it is now empty. (Note: In actual fact the originally saved project can be found, saved in a file named "[name].mantid~".)

It prompts me if I wish to overwrite... if I say 'yes' it does overwrite and then the subsequent load is blank. I do have to select a filename though to be the same.

This seems like the correct behaviour.
