All history of current session will lost when program crashed

[dracodoc]

Kpv (v2013.1-85-g01c9580) crashed today in my Kindle DX and I don't know why, the crash.log is empty. Then I found all the bookmarks I made in the whole kpv session was gone, which was several days' read.

It's rare that kpv crashed on me, but the lost is still significant. I think the bookmarks or reading history should be written to files at least when the book is closed.

so sorry about that, this is frustrating :(

we should maybe even force a document write whenever user add a bookmark, highlight or other settings.

Document write? What do you mean? I assume you mean the document's history file write because that is where bookmarks, highlights and settings are kept. The document itself is never opened except in read only mode.

I think that OP means on document close. I agree with @houqp that it should be after user interaction. I've seen similar behavior in koreader, and I would love to implement it, but I don't have any free cycles right now.

Of course if there is no performance penalty, forcing history file write after every user interaction (adding bookmarks etc) will be the best.

FYI, I am working on this now, but kindlepdfviewer is broken now because of recent updates in kroeader-base. I will send out a PR tmr to update API calls first.

To be honest, I have been suffering from this for a long time as well, since I am always using the unstable dev build ;p
