Emacs periodically saves all files that you are visiting; this is called auto-saving . Auto-saving prevents you from losing more than a limited amount of work if the system crashes. By default, auto-saves happen every 300 keystrokes, or after around 30 seconds of idle time.
Suggest you try making your auto-save-interval variable much larger and see if that helps Also suggest making smaller .org files when practical On Tue, Feb 11, 2020 at 7:33 AM Karl Voit <devn...@karl-voit.at> wrote: > * Sebastian Christ <rudolfo.chr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi list, > > > > in the last couple weeks (perhaps months?)
