Power Cut, (I live in Africa!!). A couple of hours later the Power came
back on and I started the Computer to carry on working. Scribus reported
that the file was corrupt so I went to the Folder to bring-up the Autosave
file,( have done this before and it works fine), but this time I noticed
that BOTH the original file AND the Autosave file were Zero Bytes!!! Still
listed but no content!! They had both been approx 30Mb.

> If your computer is shutdown incorrectly, anything can happen to files
that are open or already on disk but accessed by the system. It totally
depends on the state of the operating system. You cannot blame Scribus for
this. One reason *might* be that the autosave file was in the midst of
creation, thereby being lost, and the file you had open.. was open. Buy
yourself a small UPS and avoid the power failures and load shedding that
happens in Africa.
