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?
