"Auto restore" feature for autosave plug-in?

(1/3) > >>

Poobah:
Hi, I use a computer that completely locks up about once or twice a day, so the autosave plug-in is a life saver! As someone who frequently uses it, I have found that it would be quite helpful if the autosave plug-in detected if it wasn't terminated correctly during its last session, and if it wasn't, prompted to replace the original files that were in use with the auto-saved ones whose modification dates were more recent than those of the original files. This feature would only be necessary for people who choose to save the backups as "original file name.save"

Revvy:
One way of accomplishing this would simply be to pop up a dialog box asking if you want to open the .sav/.bak file if it's newer than the project file.

Poobah:
Are you suggesting I use some sort of scripting feature to do this? I don't even know what all that squirrel stuff is all about. :S

Revvy:
No, I was simply thinking out loud about a change that could be made to the actual source of the IDE.

thomas:
The idea as such is good, I'll think about how it can be implemented.
