[ jEdit-devel ] [jedit:patches] Re: #596 #501 Auto-save untitled buffers - patch

[Alan E. <ez...@us...>]

The default behavior could be set to have the backup location pre-set to something sensible, such as the jEditSettingsDirectory/backups, but that is just a simple value/1-liner we add to the jedit.props file. Then the default behavior won't leave behind autosaves or backups everywhere.

I created a patch for the feature request: "#501 Auto-save untitled buffers".
Altough the settings "Autosave untitled buffers" exists, but not working like described in the feature request.
My patch extends this feature, when "Autosave untitled buffers" checked (default):
- the untitled buffers will be autosaved when closing jedit, without a question prompt
- the autosave for an untitled buffer saved to <jedit_settings_dir>/autosave, and reloaded after a restart (the state persisted to the perspective.xml)
- closing an untitled buffer by hand removes the autosave file

Tested on windows7 and linux also.
The patch is against revision 24609.
Please review.
Thanks!
