Maybe to clarify what I had in mind - I would rename the "Instant
Save" tab to "Untitled Document Save". At the moment, it's
really unclear "Instant Save of what" it is. This tab would then look
something like this:
```
| Untitled Document Save |
(o) Disabled
( ) Instant Save
Directory to save files in
[entry ]
Current description
( ) Persistent Untitled Documents
Directory to save persistent untitled documents in
[entry ]
Save interval
[entry ]
Default filetype [Combo]
```
This would
1. Improve the clarity of what "instant save" actually is
2. Improve UI because "Instant Save" and "Persistent Untitled
Documents" are mutually exclusive and enabling one disables the other
which is strange when this happens across tabs
3. Possibly allow Default filetype to be used by both the features as I think
it makes sense in both cases.
> Could we add a little explanation about the feature to the documentation at
Before spending time on writing the documentation, we should probably first
agree on how the configuration should look like and how this feature should be
called. My suggestion is "persistent untitled documents" because
it's the "untitled" that appears in the tab so it's clearer
to users what it's about and I'd avoid the word "file"
because it isn't a normal file.
