[AUTO SAVE] Where did the additional options go?

[neviln]

In the previous version, there were extra options to decide what to do with named & unnamed files and also the choice to overwrite or to save an autorecover file. None of those are there anymore?

The features you mentioned have been removed, according to the changelog.

By far the number one complain from users has been the flipping/flickering of the file tabs in order to check on the various file statuses. To avoid this the code had to be changed and the old options cannot be supported anymore moving forward. Note that the new plugin simply ignores unamed files. Those are retained anyhow by Npp. If you have a special situation where the old options are mandatory, then you need to stay with v1.6.

Thank you for the explanation. Is there anyway the option to choose "saving an autorecover file" could still be implemented without causing the flickering issue? I really liked this option since it didn't overwrite the original file which meant I had an autorecover file with current changes, but still had the original file that i could close without saving it to revert back to square one. in case I didn't like the changes I had made.
