Auto-Save tabs/images between sessions


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I would absolutely love a feature where by all open tabs (images) are automatically saved and re-load between sessions. 

 

I use this often with NotePad++ (and Chrome browser tabs come to think of it), and was recently burnt by an automatic OS restart that lost my work. 

 

Keep up the good work 🙂

You mean like an autosave feature? I’m pretty sure we already have something like that, but I never really learned how to work it.

 

Or are you referring to an “open all tabs from previous session” kind of feature? That’s something PDN doesn’t have right now according to my knowledge.

 

I’m not sure if I can see myself using this feature much, but it doesn’t sound too bad overall.

Similar to the autosave in a lot of the Microsoft Office 365 applications, right? Because files from Office 365 that fail to save or didn’t save onto a computer’s hard disk properly will still be accessible through a temporary save file that gets deleted after some time.

 

That’s the gist I’m getting from that suggestion there, and although I think this could be a good idea, and could save people from a lot of inconveniences (e.g. their power goes out and they didn’t get a chance to save their images, or Paint.NET crashes randomly, or if their computer crashes/hangs), we’ll have to see how they’ll implement a dynamic feature like that.

 

I still do think this could be a pretty handy feature though.

The other feature tha NotePad++ (and Chrome for that matter if you turn on the "Continue from where you left off" in the Start Up settings) implemented after adding this, was to also keep a history of edits / actions.

 

So if your OS crashes, you just open reopen NotePad++, and all docs are still then with latest changes and if you click "CTL+Z" it has the history to undo the last action before the crash). Similar to how Chrome reopens/restores all tabs from before crash with the history (backward/forward) of the navigations from last session.

 

It would be magical if Paint.Net had the same 1) autosave 2) reopen same tabs at where they were 3) has edit history to undo/replay from last session.

 

I do not this this is trivial, but it would be fantastic to even get 1) out of the 3 to start with 🙂

 

I'll leave it with you. Keep up to great work. 

 

Cheers,

Kase
