Auto-save is also a good idea, the files are actually kept in the ~/.MeeRun/tmp directory (so manual restoring is already feasible) but that would be useful to detect it when restarting the app and make a recovery.

The next planned features are:
- offline maps (openstreetmaps)
- manual pause
- new button design

And (a little bit later...):
- voice feedback
- altitude
Yesterday I lost a workout. This is nice that the app writes to a tmp dir but I realised that if you restart the app it will delete the recovery files. After my last run I wanted to save my workout but I closed the app unpurposely. Then I reopened it and my recovery file was gone. In my opinion this is not a good behaviour. If the app crashes during a workout (or an important race) you can choose to restart the app and lose the recovery or not to track the remaining part of your session (or to start digging in the file system to save your recovery file during the workout).

Now I am editing the Exec line of the /usr/share/applications/meerun_harmattan.desktop file to copy the recovery files to a safe place before starting the app:

Code:
Exec=sh -c "cp -R /home/user/.MeeRun/tmp/* /home/user/<whateverdir> ; /usr/bin/invoker --splash=/opt/meerun/share/meerun/SplashScreen.png --type=d -s /opt/meerun/bin/meerun"
Problem solved, I love open source! Anyway, I treat this as a temporary solution, I suggest to modify this natively in a future release of MeeRun.

Hope to see a new release soon, I haven't heard any news so far...
