This reminds me some idea. Currently all file savers in Gnumeric
just overwrite the file while saving. If we can't save for some reason (lost
connection to file server, Gnumeric/OS crash, etc.), we loose the data (the
old file is overwritten and the new one is unusable). How about saving the
file to <tmp_prefix>-<file_name> and then (if everything is ok) renaming it?
I volunteer to implement this for most savers.
