Hello xamminf,
Welcome to the forum.

Which IDE? Did you mean Free Pascal IDE?

I've just tested Lazarus IDE 1.8.0:
- It has no problem with 300+ characters per line
- It doesn't autosave, instead it shows a dialog to let you choose save, not or cancel

1. no.
2. options->preferences -> auto save (3 tick marks).

Confirm. Windows. fp.exe (FPC IDE). Maximum string length of 255 characters.
But why use FPC IDE if you have Lazarus?

Hi,

Thank you very much for your suppor.

I use FPC because I like Turbo Vision's IDE style from FPC.

For me it is more confortable than RAD style.

Regards

I have ticked the three options in Auto-Save, but IDE does not auto-save when compile?

I would like to have this feature, just like in Visual Studio, it saves editor files when compiling.

No, it only does so when a new file is unsaved and you click "Compile" (or Run, Build, etc.); then it asks you for a name, since otherwise it wouldn't know how to name the final executable or intermediate files (*.o, *.or, etc). It might try to "guess" it from the program/unit header but it doesn't at present.

Those three options are meant only for auto-saving (or not) when exiting the IDE.

Of course, you can always request  in the tracker the features you want ;)
