FUCK YOU AND YOUR TEMP FILES MANAGEMENT

[gstavi]

The amount of respondents in the thread is surprising.
A single response with a big warm thank you to @Mede-Made for the considerable time and effort he invested in order to make Notepad++ would have suffice.

Please review and remember this recent Dilbert.

@gstavi

you are absolutely correct, that’s why usually none of us give any answers to boycott notepad++ topics, as no answer would be good enough to change a thing at all …

… but lately notepad++ runs so trouble free and smoooooth, that we barely have any support requests, so we start posting here out of utterly pure boredom 😂😂😂

[Mede Made]

Well. I will take down every single one of you with every bit of your retarded logic. Shitty software mantainers with retarded attitudes, and retarded userbase deserve a bit of this kind of attention so maybe they lighten up at a certain point.

@Alan-Kilborn
In fact I switched to Sublime text.
Also the forum is broken with the quoting feature, it gets half hidden below the screen unless you fullscreen the post editor. Ahah, also the editor in fullpage is messed up but I’m too lazy to describe details of that

@pnedev
Well, if it isn’t your interes, whom else should be? I will just move to something better and not hacked by CIA with compromised DLLs.
My attitude will remain exactly like this, and you know why? You opened a “Say fuck to Notepad++ here, and only here” (quoting literally from description) section on the forum and then you complain about insults.

Very clever move, I must admit. Nothing more to add.

NEEEEXT

@Meta-Chuh
Windows is a situation, there could have been a thousand of events for such a situation, you idiot. For example N++ could have crashed for some reason or electric current could have gone down suddenly.

The rant was about the backup feature not working.
Gawd, gladly I specified about the retarded userbase on the beginning

@gstavi
Well, I gave you a suggestion, dev asked the use case and I gave details, so I actually helped the community, even if my infos were mixed up with insults, you have something to work on. I could also give log, but dev thought it was more smart to say fuck you back to me.

It runs trouble free and smooth because you use it as a toy for keeping a supermarket checklist, while I WORK with it (or better said, I WORKED with it.)

Fuck you n++ and your shitti devs again.

Wellllll… have fun guys. You got dismantled once again.

@Mede-Made

To type so much you must really be “butt hurt” by Notepad++. Most people would just “move on”.

I haven’t opened anything. I am a simple user who is trying to improve the software he likes by actually trying to fix the issues it has.
Not by insulting others for freely sharing their work.

Windows is a situation, there could have been a thousand of events for such a situation, you idiot.

The real idiot is you for relying on some backup to keep your data safe. Earthquake may happen smashing your computer you know. It is also a situation. Some moron not saving his data before going to lunch is another situation.

It is free software, read the licence maybe:

Notepad++ is a gift - it is your decision to take it or not.
The reason you come back here yelling is because it is something you find useful and convenient.
You however don’t deserve it. You don’t deserve my reply either.
And I won’t comment your posts again. It is pointless.

[Meta Chuh]

one thing that has to be mentioned to defend @Mede-Made a bit, is that he has read and understood the Boycott Notepad++, Say fuck to Notepad++ here, and only here category,
and he has respected to post his anger here … and only here. 👍

with best regards from an idiot ;-)

@mede-made,

Good, Good ! So, Mr. “I know - everything - better - than - anyone - else”, why don’t you create “THE ideal code editor” ? In addition to its innovative capabilities, it would probably back up files long before they were created !!!

[Alan Kilborn]

Wow, wow, WOW. It takes a lot to get under @guy038 's skin! :)

[Jim Dailey]

@guy038
I hope the OP takes your suggestion to heart and does exactly that. It would save us all a tremendous amount of time if we could just navigate to the backup folder and extract a finished file whenever we needed to write some code or text document.

The problem with that is that it ends up killing your grandfather when he was a child, and you wink out of existence.

I recommend just preemptively creating the file as all NULs, because that’s the state that the auto-backup will leave your file in if you happen to crash at the wrong time: it will at least save all the frustration of losing all that work that you were silly enough to not save properly, nor keep independent version control on.

@Mede-Made

I seriously got a chuckle out of this. Reminds me of the entitled youth these days that you could buy a Porsche for their 16th birthday and they would be angry it wasn’t the right color. Credit is definitely due for posting in the right place, albeit misguided in that relying on a freely provided text editor to automatically know to backup immediately prior to a forced MS update while carelessly walking away for lunch without saving anything deemed “important” is pretty ignorant and negligent in itself. But, hey, that’s the new thing, blame everyone else for your actions and take no responsibility yourself. I bet you’re a real ray of sunshine to work with. Most Narcissists die alone, so I’m sure this one will work itself out in the end. :-)

I, however, am NOT going to say “fuck to Notepad++” because I actually do appreciate all the selfless hard work and support that went into this amazing program. No software is perfect, but considering the problem with computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to do, we are only human and this software is pretty close. I haven’t had a single issue with it, but then again, I read the manual, disclaimers and have more patience than @Needy-Madd.

Thanks for everyone else in this community!

Passing along to +1 this.

Just lost a massive amount of work while I was in a hyper-threaded working spree. I did not save religiously because we live in 2019, lost pretty much everything I had written in the last 4 hours, the backup file wiped, I’m back with what I had when I started today.
I did not think that a program that’s still massively used in 2019 would not have some way of avoiding something as godawful as this.

I love you Notepad++, but fuck you for making me lose all this work.

+1. Exact same problem. I’m devastated.
