Feature Request: autosave #37

Closed ab0oo closed 3 years ago

ab0oo commented 3 years ago

Had an issue this morning where I lost a pretty good chunk of work. My security cert expired on my Nextcloud server (technically, it expired on my nginx proxy TO my Nextcloud server, but...). When I tried to change editing from one note to the other, it gave me several error screens about cert not valid, complained it couldn't save, and went into a cert-fail loop where it kept telling me the cert was invalid, and I would acknowledge it, and the same modal dialog would pop back up. I put a valid cert on the server, and the dialog went away, but it also took a bunch of unsaved data from the first note with it. Having an auto-save (i.e. every X minutes) would have a) notified me that I had a bogus cert earlier b) let me know when I wasn't in the middle of switching from one note to another, putting me in weird middle ground where data was at risk.

Just something to consider. Thanks! John Gorkos

An autosave function would be very helpful. I use your Notes client for interviews and sometimes I'm writing for a large period of time, then large periods where I'm not typing and sometimes forget to save.

A "basic" (as in, it doesn't have to be too intelligent/highly configurable) autosave every 30seconds/1/2/5 minutes would be very helpful.

As I wrote in this other thread: https://github.com/dgmid/nextcloud-notes-mac-client/issues/26 Autosave is only going to happen, if EasyMDE allow a custom function to be called in their Autosave function: cf. Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor#42

I personally have no problem pressing ⌘ S once in a while.
