If I type in rm -rf / and pause for a moment trying to remember if I’m trying to delete /var/log/apache2/ or /usr/local/var/log/apache2/ in a dev environment that auto-executes code when I save it I would strongly prefer that it wait until I manually save.
- atoav 5y agoWhich is why I like Autosaves that save a copy. Blender for example autosaves project files into it's own location (and keeps that location clean). If you have a crash you can still go for that autosave file and it works in most cases – but it isn't saved in the folder you are working in. For certain programs this would be overkill of course, but for others it would be quite cool.
- IgorPartola 5y agoIt’s interesting. I use vim which has auto-recovery built in. But I also compulsively save. vim is so much faster than most conventional IDEs that it’s just not worth it for me to look for an alternative to that pattern.
