My preferences where the default, 'use_gio_unsafe_file_saving'. I tryed the others, and can conclude:
- 'use_gio_unsafe_file_saving' checked, with 'use_atomic_file_saving' unchecked, does not save to an existing file, but does save to a new file - 'use_atomic_file_saving' checked, with 'use_gio_unsafe_file_saving' unchecked, does not save to an existing file, but does save to a new file - with both the above options unchecked, geany itself does save to both existing and new files This is strange behaviour, because according to the link [(https://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving)] 'use_atomic_file_saving' always writes to a temporary new file first, and then renames that to the name of the existing file. So at least the temporary file should be available after fail, but it is not. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
