gedit and unsaved files
Howdy List, I had a text document open in gedit when a power outage hit. This is a file that I hadn't saved or named yet so it was still an "Untitled Document 1" but was loaded with content. Does gedit autosave open files anywhere? I checked /tmp and /var/tmp but came up empty. I also grepped the filesystem but turned up nothing. (This isn't a complaint. It's my own fault for not saving the document. Shame on me!) -Gordon signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
