Not working as expected

Closed this issue · 1 comments

My expectations come from using other ide's.

  1. Doesn't save when focus is lost.

    I'm working on a javascript file. I expect that when I switch to an html doc and open it in html preview, that the changes to my
    javascript file would be saved and show up in the preview. This doesn't happen. If I check in file explorer, the file size and timestamp is not updated.

  2. Prompts to save when closing window.

    This is really anoying, I've never seen autosave implemented this way. I expect that it would save silently with no prompt. As it is, it's easier just to use ctrl-s instead of this plugin. I've actually uninstalled it for this reason.

I reinstalled the autosave plugin, and now it is working.
