Hello. Currently geany keeps the changes when you keep the file open after saving it. I think this is enough.
If you really need these kind of feature why don't you try a version control system like svn ?
Cheers, Jean-Philippe.
SVN is very useful in projects, but a bit clumsy with configuration files, etc.
Another real-life 'persistant history' example: When restoring a session in Firefox, all the tabs are restored, including their history. Closing a tab in Firefox and undoing that action not only reopens the closed tab, but also restores it's navigation history...
It seems that there is a reasonable demand for such a feature in other programs. Hopefully I'm not alone in wishing for such an extension for Geany: "true session save/restore possibility"...
I think it's an interesting idea, but I don't think it belongs in the core of Geany. Saving the history to a session file might require some changes to Scintilla, but [in theory] there could be a plugin that keeps documents open when the tabs are closed, and reattaches them when reopening the matching file (as long as Geany isn't closed). It would bulk up the memory usage though.
