The idea was rather to avoid losing data on unexpected crashes; if you expect a crash you can very well use a separate configuration directory for testing purpose (and I would recommend it). If this causes real issues, it might make sense to make this more granular than on/off. Indeed, losing the cursor position is less likely to be annoying than losing a whole list of open files would Geany crash, so I guess it could be a more granular setting. > I also don't see specifically anything on site:geany.org documenting > files.save_config_on_file_change See the [various preferences section](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#various-preferences) in the manual, it's buried in the table. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4603#issuecomment-4788081841 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
