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"...

Dear list,
I was thinking that it may be very usefull to have the undo history saved between sessions...
For example: I open a file, make a change, save and close it. The change didn't work and I have to undo that change. Unless I saved a previous version, I can't undo that change.
-or-
I'm really hacking at some files and I must stop to return to it an other day. By closing Geany I'll save all open files to a 'session', but when reopening that 'session' all undo history is gone... I'd like to return to it and continue with the files as if it were a minute ago.
I know this will create some overhead and I thus suggest that saving the undo history will only be done for all items in the 'recent documents' and the open tabs. Once a file is purged from the 'recent files' list and isn't opened in a tab, the history gets deleted.
A popular multi-track audio recording studio called Ardour has added such a feature to their upcoming release (2.0) and I think it makes a real nice feature...
How do guys you think about this?
