[issue13571] Backup files support in IDLE
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: I agree with Roger that developing an extension elsewhere is the proper first step. I suspect that you will want to experiment with the exact behavior and interface. So I am closing this for now, though you can reopen later if there is a renewed proposal to change IDLE as distributed. But I would sooner incorporate some of the other extensions that have already been written and tested as part of IdleX. Because I don't usually do the things that cause IDLE to crash, at least not while coding, and do use a fairly short code/F5-run test cycle, I am not sure I would need this much. On the other hand, a 5 or 10 minute timed backup might not be a bad idea. -- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: - later status: open - closed versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13571 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

maniram maniram maniandra...@gmail.com added the comment: In response to Roger Serwy: I rarely have IDLE crash on Linux. If you're experiencing these issues on Windows, see #13582. I'm on Ubuntu Linux and IDLE does'nt crash. Many editors have backup files in the case of a crash and after a crash have an option to copy the backup file to the original. Also if IDLE has a bug it can crash. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13571 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13571] Backup files support in IDLE
New submission from maniram maniram maniandra...@gmail.com: Automatically save files in IDLE's editor which are not saved to backup file(s) (perhaps in .idlerc) every minute. If IDLE crashes, save all files that are not saved to backup file(s) and then re-raise the error (like a finally statement) When IDLE detects a backup file make it prompt the user whether (s)he wants to move the backup file to the original file and also have a button to view the backup file and a button to view the original file (both the buttons are in the prompt). -- components: IDLE messages: 149140 nosy: maniram.maniram priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Backup files support in IDLE ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13571 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
