Preserve Last Saved Workflow After Unexpected Shutdown

Good afternoon everyone, it’s a pleasure to greet you.

I would like to kindly request a potential improvement from the developers regarding KNIME’s behavior in certain unexpected scenarios.

Currently, if our PC or server experiences a connectivity issue or, for some other reason, KNIME closes unexpectedly while a workflow is running or becomes unresponsive, the workflow can end up being internally damaged. Ideally, in such cases, the system should avoid applying any changes and instead preserve the last saved version of the workflow, to prevent corruption.

I understand that keeping regular backups is the best practice. However, in reality, it’s common to make updates to a workflow without saving immediately, and in those cases, there’s a high risk of losing work.

Thank you very much for your understanding and for the great work you do.

Best regards.
