Re: why does delphi not autosave editor files at compile/build

Hello,

idea for that feature: integrate in into the history. Every time it is compiled (if some config switch enabled the feature) it's saved to the history but as "future" version so the last one you saved manually is treated as the current one in history.

Using a source control system such as Subversion, one does not need to be afraid to save too often: you can always fetch back the stable version from the local repository...

If anything, I have this "bug" of not liking to see unsaved files! A looong many years ago, after loosing some work to a power failure, I got so used to spam CTRL-S that, even though I haven't used but notebooks for quite some years and always plugged in to a power outlet, meaning that I have a "fallback" power supply, aka: battery, I still keep spamming CTRL-S whenever I change a couple lines... But I agree on the auto-save feature or, at least, something à-la-Word: do some temp autosaves every x minutes and if loading the editor and the temp file was there, ask about what to do with it(/them)...
