Comment 21 for bug 804936

Hello.

I have similar issues. Don't know if it's the same error, but I post nonetheless.

For me, Zim (version 0.62 on Win7SP2) gives an error dialog with three options: Cancel, discard changes or save to seperate files. If I cancel, the error dialog appears again with the next save attempt.

Note: the error dialog says that the file in question is changed outside Zim. However, I've never had that file tampered by programs. The occurrence of the error is sometimes sporadical, sometimes occurs with every two or three saves. The dialog is also annoying because I have to wait a couple of seconds to be able to push any buttons on it.

Here is the zim_daemon.log contents after a session with this error:
