Re: [ jEdit-users ] Close older buffers

[Patrick W. <jed...@pd...>]

Here is a BeanShell script you can try.

Note that if you open a file, but do nothing with it, this script will
close it if the file was not modified in the last 5 minutes...that is, if
you open a file you edited even an hour or fifteen minutes ago, then run
this script, it will be closed. I can't find any var in JEdit that tells
us when a file was last opened in JEdit, so the only timestamp we have is
the last time it was saved to disk.

Dirty files will be left open.

The file(exists) check is for new unsaved buffers.


closeOld() {
	age =3D 1000 * 60 * 5; // 5 min
	cutoff =3D System.currentTimeMillis() - age;
	buffers =3D jEdit.getBuffers();
	for ( i=3D0; i < buffers.length; i++ ) {
		buffer =3D buffers[i];
		file =3D new File(buffer.getPath());
		if ( !file.exists() ) continue;
		lastMod =3D file.lastModified();
		if ( lastMod > cutoff || buffer.isDirty()) continue;
		jEdit.closeBuffer(view, buffer);
	}
}
closeOld();
