Yeah, not good. Sorry about that. Do you know if your images were in the .tc 
file? If you had the setting for saving images in the data directory, they 
should probably still be there. In either case, if this is another oddly 
recurring image loss bug, I'm not sure where to begin debuging it.

As Jens mentioned, the data directory is ~/.kde/share/apps/tellico/data/ All 
the images would be in there...

I actually come across that occasionally myself and I've not been able to 
figure out why. Maybe Tellico should fail silently in this case. There's 
always a backup file saved, with the ~ extension (similar to emacs). And 
for security purposes, Tellico attempt to reset the permissions on that 
file to match the original .tc file. And sometimes that just happens to 
fail...
