transactional saving of images

Hi,

I have had a few occasions where I broke an image because I either ran out of disk space or had an endless loop that grew my image endlessly (I think).

But why does Pharo not save the image & .changes file in hidden files named eg ~Pharo.image while it saves? Then it can rename them when saving was successful. Many unix programs do this.

(I'm using pharo 6.1 so don't know if newer versions do this)

Hi,

I think this sounds like a good idea.

Agree, sounds like a good idea.

As far as I know newer versions do not do this.
