I might be misinterpreting the Qt docs - but I believe there's a lot of cases in master where we should be opening files for writing with the QIODevice::Truncate flag.
I hit an issue today where a file exported from the color list (gpl file) was not being correctly truncated and tracked it down to a missing Truncate flag. But searching through the code I've found lots of other instances were the flag is missing, and am surprised that we haven't seen the consequences of this before...
