    Hello,

    Can you implement auto recovery option for not saved documents when the system crashed?
    It’s implemented in MS Visual Studio, MS SQL Server Management Studio, Word
    and Firefox (Firefox open last session).

    Bump most bumpily (Since autosave pluggin doesn't save unnamed docs and development has stalled).

    Please check the existence and contents of C:\Documents and Settings\<User account>\Local Settings\Temp\N++RECOV

    Name may be a bit different under various Windows versions. This sort of path is the one under XP.

    N++RECOV Not modified for a long time possibly since a recent update to 5.4.5..broken in a patch?

    That means that you haven't got a crash for a long time :)

    If Notepad++ catches an exception, then it will dump all currently dofuments there. There are rare cases where the exception stops Notepad++ even though it didn't catch it. In such an event, there is nothing it can do.

    That app had hung for ages….still think the app could do with a nice autosaving function…

    Could you elaborate on what the crashes are? Fixing them seems a better approach still.

    I've been looking for an autosave / session recovery solution… it's not so much notepad++ crashing but rather my system crashing or rebooting for some reason.

    Did you try the Autosave plugin?
