Auto-save support
I find myself frequently opening instances of notepad2 to write various things without saving them immediately. While I suppose this may be a bad practice in general, it nonetheless is what it is at the moment, and it would be really nice to have some type of auto-save support especially for instances that have not even been saved to a file at all yet.
I know the original author of notepad2 specifies he is not interested in adding support for such a feature, but this is one feature that I think merits being a "core" feature.
I too hope to see this feature eventually make it to notepad2-mod. For this sole reason I use notepad++ for my sub-editor opening crucially edited documents, and I plan to bring back all such documents back to notepad2-mod on the very day when notepad2-mod will do crash-safe backup automatically.
:+1: from me too. I need a way to restore unsaved documents upon system crash/restart.
No patch no joy, sorry. On Aug 3, 2015 9:50 AM, "isreport" [email protected] wrote:

In case someone's interested, here's a fork with autorecovery support: antiufo/notepad2-mod
Unsaved files are accessible from File -> Recovered. When the app is closed, the file save confirmation dialog is replaced with a save to autorecovery (without changing the actual file).
