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.

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 ;)

Thank you @lucamar, for your clarification. :)
