[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add an option for automatically saving any unsaved / unnamed (new) documents in a cache directory (#905)

[elextr]

The use-case seems to have two parts:

1. Saving the session status when the application is shutdown normally.  Saving modified buffers in the Geany config directory and recording that in the session file should be possible if someone wants to make a pull request for it.

2. Preserving state when the application is not shutdown normally, ie crash, logout, system shutdown.  In this case there is no way of saving the status after the abnormal condition has occurred, so any saving needs to happen before the abnormal incident similar to the Saveactions plugin (not Addons as @b4n posted), but not saving over the original file.  That would be a reasonable enhancement to that plugin and again pull requests are welcome.
