No-save buffer, for log barf I don't want to save
-
I find myself often putting log-barf into Notepad++ buffers when I program because it un-wraps lines and allows me to search the log-barf for things. But what I don’t want to ever do is save that log-barf to a file. The problem here is that whenever I have a window open with log-barf, I find myself unable to save the files I do want to save with the save-all, without being confronted with a “save New file” dialog box. Oh sure, I can hit “cancel” and everything is hunky-dory, but it’s a PITA… would be neat if I could just open a never-will-be-saved buffer.
It would also be neat to have an MSpaint that never asks if you want to save… so don’t think this feature is horribly high on my priority list.

Personally, I just have a file named
Peter's Scratchpad.txtthat’s always open, where I paste things like that (and, admittedly, things that started like that but have just stayed around in that file for a lot longer than originally intended). And if I save the “temporary data” in the file, who cares? I just delete the stuff out of the file that I don’t need anymore when I don’t need them anymore. That way, I can just Save All or use the Auto-Save plugin as much as I want, without having to ask for a specific feature to “not save this one thing”.
