Comment 3 for bug 502147

The bug has been fixed in the latest revision of the Kabikaboo trunk. For those who have gone the twenty-nine yards to get Kabikaboo's native source working on Windows, this patch should work. For others, unfortunately, this patch cannot be retroactively applied to the Windows builds, and so will be fixed with the version 1.8 installer.

The patch detects if the file exists before it attempts to open it. If it does not exist, it prints a warning dialog and opens a new, blank file, at which point the user can either find and open the old file or save the new file.
