![]() The storage location for temporary files and unsaved changes can be customized by adding to section the entry Temp File Dir = with the path to existing directory in INI file of which full qualified file name is displayed at Advanced - Settings or Configuration - Application layout - Advanced. This is also the default location for temporary files created by UltraEdit / UEStudio instead of directory %TEMP% as used in previous versions of UltraEdit / UEStudio. The unsaved files are stored in directory %APPDATA% \IDMComp\UltraEdit\ Restore respectively %APPDATA% \IDMComp\UEStudio\ Restore. Open from Explorer also loads file list and Discard unsaved "Edit" files with no prompt on application close can't be customized if the settings above require remembering and reloading unsaved changes to prevent a data loss. The availability of customization for the last two options depends on the other options above. The feature to remember and reload unsaved changes is enabled by default. The other settings are introduced with UE v25.20 and UES v18.20. The three green formatted settings existed already prior UltraEdit v25.20 respectively UEStudio v18.20. (Warning - this will automatically delete unnamed files) Discard unsaved "Edit" files with no prompt on application close.Open from Explorer also loads file list.Remember and reload unsaved changes to FTP files.Reload FTP files when reloading a project or last open files.Reload files previously open on startup. ![]() This feature can be customized at Advanced - Settings or Configuration - File handling - Session options which has following settings: However, UltraEdit for Windows v25.20 and UEStudio v18.20 introduce the feature to keep unsaved files over exits of UltraEdit / UEStudio. A single Temp.txt always opened in UltraEdit / UEStudio is enough to keep such text. The simple method to keep temporary text data stored over Windows shutdowns/restarts is storing them in a file with name Temp.txt. That is not an essential feature, not for me and most likely not for vast majority of UltraEdit / UEStudio users. When there are enough other UltraEdit users requesting this feature, I'm quite sure a future version of UltraEdit will have it. However, you can request a feature by email to IDM support to keep new, unnamed files on exit optionally depending on a configuration setting which are further managed by UltraEdit like Notepad++. UltraEdit can be configured to minimize on system tray to remove its larger icon from Windows task bar to avoid occupying space on Windows task bar when kept running but being minimized as temporarily not needed. So applications like UltraEdit must be really exited only when a restart of Windows is necessary, for example after monthly security update installations of Windows or when an application is installed/uninstalled requiring a restart of Windows or UltraEdit itself is updated. It is customizable in Windows power schemes/energy options that Windows hibernates instead of doing a real shut down on pressing power off key on keyboard or computer case or clicking on shutdown item in Windows start menu or on closing display of notebook. That's the reason why I suggest most Windows 8/8.1/10 users who want to continue working exactly as stopped before shutdown to use the good old real hibernate mode. The "new fast" shutdown and restart of Windows 8/8.1/10 is just a hibernate shutdown/restart with the difference of an automatic exit of all running foreground applications before hibernating. The hibernate mode makes it possible to leave all applications running on shutting down the computer and the applications continue running after next power on of the computer. All Windows support hibernate mode which I'm using already since Windows 98 which means since nearly 20 years. This file can be also added to Favorite Files/Folders list for quickly reopening it in case of having it once closed in UltraEdit.īut most efficient would be to nearly never exit UltraEdit. It is also possible to have always opened a named file like TempTextData.tmp stored somewhere for temporary text data. ![]() There is the topic Save all new, unnamed files with automatically generated file names with a script which can be executed manually for example by pressing a hotkey to save all new, unnamed files before exiting UltraEdit. A file is created in %TEMP% (or the directory configured in INI file for temporary files) on opening a new file and the user has to decide on exiting UltraEdit what to do with that new file, save it or discard (delete) it. UltraEdit does not have such a feature at the moment. As far as I know Notepad++ saves the contents of a new, unsaved file on exit in a file stored in %APPDATA% \Notepad++\backup, reloads this backup file on next start and deletes the backup file automatically on saving the new file with a definite name or closing the "new" file.
