I just got hit by the same bug myself, so I wrote a python script to save backup of files.
It will save files as "filename.txt.unsaved" in the same folder as filename.txt or as "2010-06-05_02:53:40.Unsaved Document 1.unsaved.txt" in home. Warning: It is not very untested. ** Attachment added: "periodic_backup.zip" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49704459/periodic_backup.zip -- Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151365 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
