Needs auto-save of source code #204

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add or edit some source code
2. have iep crash
3. restart iep, notice that your work has disappeared
4. tears

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see the source code that I was previously editing (or a very recent 
snapshot thereof).

Crashes are inevitable, esp. in GUI apps with their many components. That is 
why almost all take considerable care to provide auto-save functions--some only 
periodically, but increasingly, complete to the latest keystroke.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3.2 beta for Mac OS X 10.7.5

Please provide any additional information below.

iep looks very nicely done. Don't let avoidable user frustration drive them 
away.

I wasn't upset when a beta version crashed. But the moment it didn't remember 
what
I had been doing when I restarted it, I knew that I would have been upset if it 
had
happened during real work.

Any more details on the crash? Was there a particular situation that might have 
invoked it?

Sorry, I don't recall what caused the crash. I think I was fiddling with the 
Project Manager. Since it's deprecated, I didn't think the crash was the most 
import thing--how iep handled it and got me back to work was the key issue.
