Current code simply tries to save - if the save fails, then the file may have already been altered. I've altered this to do the following:
 - save to a tmp file
 - if successful, copy the existing file to filname.phyml.bak
 - copy tmp file to filename.phyml

You will therefore always have a version of the file, regardless of which stage failed (either the original, the original.bak or -- hopefully! -- the new one)

The error with the Gamma still needs addressing.

I can't replicate the error on my computer - the figure legend (given to me separately) saves fine.

"Single tree inferred under maximum likelihood search with a GTR-⌫ model of sequence evolution. All parameters
used in the model were estimated using maximum likelihood. Values above the branches represent bootstrap percentages
Ͼ50%."

The Gamma symbol is the odd X-thing above. This also appears in the XML file.

Need to try on other machines to replicate this.

Fixed via saving to temp file first *and* making a back up. If it crashes, the data is now safe.
