<![CDATA[Notepad++ no longer saves temp files]]>When I first installed Notepad++, I had the ability to create a new document tab and use it as a temporary holder. This was handy if I was in the middle of something but had to reboot or something and didn’t want to lose text, but didn’t really want to save it either. All of a sudden, this functionality no longer seems to work. Every time I close I get prompted to save any modified documents. Is there an option somewhere that got changed or do you have any idea what might be causing this?

For additional instances, you need to save/backup the files manually. Is this the issue?

Thanks.

looks like your backup settings aren’t set.

Settings->Preferences->Backup and enable session snapshot and periodic backup.

Cheers
Claudia
