Auto-save when quitting #48

Closed 517qf closed 6 years ago

517qf commented 6 years ago

I think auto-save is a really useful feature.

at the moment slzk doesn't distinguish between an auto-save and a manual save: The same file gets overwritten. So when quitting/closing a note the save question is only relevant for the parts you changed in the last minute. People will always answer yes here.

The question would only be useful if the autosave didn't overwrite the same file but created a special autosave copy like a hidden file or a file that is prefixed with ~. Though both options will create work for you: If you chose the first people would complain to not find the files, if you chose the latter people would complain that the folder is littered with "useless" files ...

I know that you can change the auto-save interval (or disable it fully) but autosave is useful.
