Description Alex 2004-08-25 09:37:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

A autosave feature would be nice. It should save all opened files after a certain amount of time automatically in background. I don't know if this have to implemented in the "Embedded advanced text editor" or in kdevelop itself. But as long as kdevelop isn't 100% stable (what we are far away from) it would be very very useful!!!

Well it saves them every time you compile.
And besides that it does not crash here (SuSE 9.1), so you have a defective instalation, probably Manrake :)

Comment 2 Alex 2004-08-25 10:55:53 UTC

I know; but when doing large changes in a big project I sometimes can't 
combile for a view hours; This means I either have to save the files 
manually before next crash of kdevelop or I get in danger. And especially 
in big projects the crashes happen more often. But I don't know when it 
crashes. Sometimes it don't crashes for days. Sometimes it crashes every 
ten minutes. Most times when crashes repeat more often, it helps to 
recreate the kdevelop project files. But when it is already crashed and my 
changes are gone I'm not very happy about knowing I have to create a new 
projectfile... :-(
The best would be to have a autosave (e.g. every 3 minutes) like most 
other IDEs and the problems would get minimized!!! 

Best regards,

Please reply via the web form at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88011
instead of via mail.

Or if you insist in using mail at least delete the tail of the mail.

Yes.. You have a point there; Sorry!

Comment 5 premierSullivan 2008-06-26 06:37:06 UTC

I would be happy to implement an option in system settings (not sure where it would go, but hey).  This option would set a flag saying that all apps should periodically autosave if there have been changes.  Then each individual app would have to implement it (not such a big deal, I could do that too).  This could be turned off of course, but what I wonder is if this is the kind of things that the kde community wants.  I know I do.
