Disable autosave / draft save

[Brossollet-Antonin]

I'm working on documents saved on a veracrypt encrypted partition for privacy reason. Even after disabling autosave options, drafts are still saved in appdata if I'm not being extra careful. It would be great to have an option to disable altogether all autosave function including drafts. Thank you for this great software!

And, like in Word, when you save or confirm you want to discard changes (ie when you exit gracefully), Typora should clean after itself and delete all drafts for that file. I just realised I had a year's worth of drafts since the first day I installed Typora, some of them potentially sensitive, and I didn't even know.

EDIT: Also, rather than hiding them away, draft files should be saved in the same folder as the saved file. That would make them immediately visible and solve the OP's issue as the drafts would be saved securely in the VeraCrypt volume.

In Notepad++:

Remember: Create a backup file.

Open: C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Local\Programs\Typora\resources\appsrc\window\frame.js

Find: var t=window._options.userDataPath+(File.isWin?"\\":"/")+"draftsRecover";

Replace with: var t=window._options.userDataPath+(File.isWin?"\\":"/")+"!@#$%^&*()";
