LazAutoSave - IDE Plugin
« on: April 26, 2018, 12:23:25 am »
If you're working and pressing Ctrl + S all the time, this is for you.

https://github.com/lainz/LazAutoSave

Made by @GetMem, @JuhaManninen and myself, it saves you  ;)

Features:
- AutoSave all files each 1 second (you can set the time in the file, no GUI for now..)

ToDo:
- Enable AutoSave on last opened project (when you open Lazarus for the first time). Currently you need to reopen it again in order to work.
Done! Thanks to @JuhaManninen.

This is not for everyone, I'm fine on using it because I use Git, and commit regularly. And I'm used to it from other IDE's (VS Code, IntelliJ Community).

And that's all =) Enjoy.

I did a few improvement(tested on win32/64, gtk2, carbon):
   1. Replaced TTimer with a TThread(less interference with the IDE)
   2. The interval is configurable via the Options dialog. LazMenu-->File-->AutoSave options( [Ctrl] + [Shift] + A )
   3. Added resource strings to support other languages

You're welcome. Please run a few test, I did not have enough time to test it thoroughly.

Yes, I'm already using it to work, so It's being tested from now to all days I use Lazarus.

OK thanks, if is stable I will add it to OPM, maybe other users will find it useful. Perhaps we can add more feature, though nothing comes to my mind now.

I've tested it all the morning, and it's working fine.

Also I did tests like:
- Start lazarus and edit last project
- New project, new file, save file, edit file
- Open projects and edit

Hi, I'm reporting the usage of this plugin over 3 days.

It's working fine. I had no problem, no crashes and nothing like that.

But, the difficult part was keeping myself out of pressing Ctrl + S. It was the hardest part.

Maybe the save moment is noticeable, I don't have an SSD, but is less than a second, but still noticeable.

With SSD is not noticeable at all.
