Summary: save.always
Initial Comment:
I would like to have a save.always (or
save.if.not.modified) option in SciTE. I can think of the
following use cases:
1. Restoring a file that has been deleted.
2. "Touching" a file.
3. Correcting a file if we use strip.trailing.spaces or
ensure.consistent.line.ends.
4. Copying a file between floppies.
I know I can make a change in the file, revert it and then
save, but it's not optimal.
This would be a real annoyance! Errors if you open a read-only file,
touch all files being looked at, lot of disk traffic. Really, since the
method you mention works, I don't see a use of this feature.
Of course, I suppose your option means to save automatically an opened
file when the buffer is closed, be it "dirty" or not.
If it just mean "Allows me to save a file with Ctrl+S (or menu item)
even if the file is untouched", it is usable... and probably quite
trivial to implement.
Note that Ctrl+Shift+S (Save As) alread allows that, with only the minor
annoyance of asking if we want to overwrite an existing file.
