lgk: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Just two examples: Web browser will not ask you to save tabs with correct settings. They will just do it. Another well known text editor as well.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. A browser does not save files. 2. A text editor that saves when closing without asking me would be a disaster for me! Ask yourself: If you made changes to a document, close the editor and do NOT want to save the changes, what would you say if the editor saves the document without asking you? lgk: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use text editors not only for sophisticated stuff like programming, but also for things like quick notes and quick text changes, that wouldn't work within other programs. So I might write a quick shopping list, some ideas, reformat some list, etc. Of course it's possible that I get interrupted and then windows wants to restart or whatever. However, what I really want (and what I am used to within another editor) is to save unnamed files. It makes life really easier if you can have temporary files and just save them if you want to and not because you are forced to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lgk: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, why should I give it a crazy name all the time? Then I need to select a folder and later I need to delete the file too in most cases.. Why PSPad can't do that for me? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because you are not the only user? David in Delta offered you a solution, but you did not understand it. Or you did, but would rather let others do the work? It's very simple: Create a file once (not every time!) on your desktop and name it e.g. "My notes.txt". Then set the backup settings in PSPad as you like. Now the file will be backed up automatically every x minutes. If you open it and don't need the old content anymore, press Ctrl+A and Del. Then you write the new text. Use your imagination to meet your taste. ;-) Bernd. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,53682,73594> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
