[Desktop-packages] [Bug 151365] Re: Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents
I dug into the code to try and fix this, but it's a lot more complex than it looks. If anyone wants to start digging, look at `gedit- tab.c:248` - that's the first catch conditional. Also look at the function getting called if that conditional passes - there's a similar catch conditional in there. The main problem is that auto-save pulls in the file object, which doesn't exist if the document is unsaved. Autosave would actually have to save the file to some special "temporary" directory.

That's the problem. Here we have a huge group of users and one bug tracking system but every project has it's own bug tracking system.

Great logic. So, since cars and planes shouldn't crash perhaps we don't need safety features developed for them? Seriously, this is faulty logic. Software will from time to time crash.
