      Greetings!

      In some editors they keep a “backup” copy of what you are editing and you can set the frequency that these in-session backups are kept. The idea being that if your computer, (or session), crashes for whatever reason, you don’t loose everything and can pick up where, or near, you left off.

      The preference for this within Notepad++ requires you to set “open the previous document at startup” before you can set the ability to have in-session backups saved automatically. It would be better if these options were separate.

      My problem with this is that I seldom want to open a previous session, and I especially don’t want to open a previous session/document when I’m opening another document.

      Is this possible.

      Thanks!

        Since the one was implemented using the other, it would require a significant rework of both of those features to disentangle them, which I doubt is likely to happen
