Repeatedly shows old files as unsaved even if they were actually saved about drawio-desktop HOT 13 CLOSED

Autosave and Draft save are two different things apparently.

In the Simple theme UI, you can find the Draft option here:

( Click on: (...) → Settings → Drafts... )

Setting Draft save interval [sec] (0 to disable) Autosave is a disabled menu item, so how would I go about setting the interval to 0?

Will be fixed in the next release
Thanks @JeroenOortwijn for the detailed analysis

In desktop release 22.1.16.

@davidjgraph can you reopen this please? I'm getting this issue in v23.1.5 all the time.

I have a feeling that it is related to files being stored in OneDrive, but I am unsure.

If I get the unsaved file, saved it locally, then close the file in draw.io, and close draw.io fully, I still get the same "unsaved" file if I reopen draw.io.

I have this same issue on mac osx

from drawio-desktop.

Same here, and quite annoying. Clearly a significant bug, and has been around for a long time.

from drawio-desktop.

Can you please provide specific steps to reproduce?

from drawio-desktop.

I'm experiencing the same problem with v22.0.3.

What happens on my system is the following:

1. I open the file Communication overview.drawio.
2. After waiting for like 10 seconds, I make one change (move a line segment).
3. Immediately the red Unsaved changes. Click here to save. notice appears.
4. 5 seconds after step 3 the file .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp gets created.

Situation 1

If I click on the red Unsaved changes. Click here to save. notice before the file .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp gets created, the following happens:

• The file Communication overview.drawio gets updated.
• 5 seconds after step 3 the file .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp still gets created.

When I now close draw.io, and reopen the file Communication overview.drawio, it will show the Unsave changes dialog.

Situation 2

If I click on the red Unsaved changes. Click here to save. notice after the file .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp gets created, the following happens:

• The file Communication overview.drawio gets updated.
• The file .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp gets removed.

When I now close draw.io, and reopen the file Communication overview.drawio, it will not show the Unsave changes dialog.

Workaround

Setting Draft save interval [sec] (0 to disable): from 5 to 0 causes the .$Communication overview.drawio.dtmp to not appear anymore and "fixes" this bug.

This just occurred for me in v23.0.2. I get an "unsaved diagram" every time I open draw.io desktop with an earlier version of the diagram that I have definately saved. I can even save it, close draw.io, and then when I open it, draw.io shows the same unsaved diagram again.

I repeated this 6 times, but then i removed Documents\.$myfile.drawio.bkp, and the problem stopped. Shouldn't draw.io be removing this file?

Note: My Documents folder is in OneDrive. Maybe there is some interaction going on here.

The original issue is fixed, I'm going to close this.

We're aware that there are significant problems when saving to a OneDrive sync'ed folder, but all other cloud storage syncs work fine, I think there's something wrong with OneDrive's implementation.
