Chapters Overwritten with Duplicates #1320

I was trying to use the side by side editing feature (where you can supposedly view two different sections at once.) It was being finicky but I managed to get it working. While in this mode, I moved a few texts around the tree.

The text I moved overwrote one of the texts they displaced when I moved them. I now had two versions of the moved file and none of the old file. I didn't move either of these texts more than one file, so they essentially just overwrote the file they swapped positions with.

I'm on Windows 10, using the ManuskriptW.exe of 0.16.1-5a10925. I've attached the log file of that session to this post. 'Introduction'/'Chapter 5' overwrote 'Tutelage', and 'Presque Vu' overwrote something that I'd just renamed. Might make it easier to spot what happened.

Experienced exactly the same behaviour (moved a chapter, ended with a duplicate one that overwrote another one).
I'm on Linux Ubuntu 22.04, Manuskript 0.16.1.

Chapter was "Introduction d'Aurore réunion"
Loved using the software so far, but I'm now super scared to lose a chapter ...

I ended up starting to use Github Desktop to keep things up to date between my devices, which has the side effect of letting me go back and save whatever chapter got wiped when this happens. Maybe that could be of use to you, @policieuxjp ? At least until this issue is worked out.

Thanks for the tip, I'm using git and a script to track changes now.
