importing

[frank raney]

I thought it did something like that..I usually do save periodically when working for long periods,  But I got so involved, I forgot.....How do I get/install an sql backend.

Just finished 6 hours correcting all the data i imported and before I could save it, the program crashed. All I have is the unchanged imported data file........When it crashed, the file was lost but there is a log file......what it is I don't know.....  Guess I have to start all over?

Oh, that's so painful; know that we feel your pain!

If you use a sql backend (sqlite is certainly the easiest to set up), it saves everything you do as you do it. This means two things: you won't have the catastrophe that you described, and you can't back out of changes by closing without saving. Either way, you'll want to take periodic backup "snapshots" of your books.
