[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Preserving the 'untitled' files (#2717)

[Matthew Brush]

Geany will only open additional unsaved new files if you've modified the previous one, and will also only present the save dialog if you've modified the new unsaved documents. The action of saving them to disk is what persists them.

> Is there a way to preserve those files in the editor without being forced to save them, so they and their content would be kept upon the user manually closes them?

I haven't tried, but it's possible with one of the plugins that provides auto-backup that it would do so for new unsaved documents. There is also the "Scribble" tab in the message window, which sounds like what you're after, but it's not a real document and there's only one.
