![]() ![]() What he pointed out, that I took note of, was that the backup was already happening, per the original setting, which it wasn’t. Ever drop an app or file into another folder or group by accident and then have to search for it? Stuff happens. Doing dumb things, as I try to do things quickly, etc…however, is something I do want to be saved from. or fortunately for me, sharing my system with others is not a problem I have to worry about. Just my $0.02 worth…hope it doesn’t offend, but at the least brings a little appreciation for the broader view of the breadth of users and the needs of those users also, as opposed to just those of the elite. I’m a neophyte to NPP’s more intrinsic options, but nonetheless, I was also kind of dumb struck to the confusing setup in the dialog that led you to believe by clicking that option, you were creating backup files. He admitted it was his fault for not RTFMing, but suggested the auto on option because of the clumsy way it looked or would look to neophyte users with even less knowledge than him. He clicked what he thought was the proper way to set up the back up feature, only to realize it wasn’t set and brought that to your attention that it’s clumsy. It only takes once for a neophyte to lose all their stuff because it didn’t have a basic backup option working to lose a potential user, and if I remember right, that crybaby, as someone else posts, was a seasoned programmer who was confused by the way the dialogs option work. What’s involved in turning off the option, searching for *.bak and deleteing the files. So if NPP is to only be a power users club application (unlikely) it will still be used by neophytes who don’t RTFM and be questioned either way. Not all users using “Free” software bother to RTFM, experiment, etc. Power users won’t hesitate to know where to look, set their options, RTFM. ![]()
