[ jEdit-users ] autosave files

[<ar...@co...>]

I think that's a bit much.  I think somebody was working on a Java 
diff...but until it becomes available you can probably live with using 
your system diff to see what is different.  The option to load it would 
be nice.  I usually totally disregard my autosaves because I don't want 
the hassle of temporarily renaming/opening other files up.  If the option 
were there I might actually use it.
