I have just found an other one: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/63714/autosavemodified
I just installed it in 11.1. No objections from the IDE but I have it turned on in Options/ Miscellaneous and a file I have open and edited is not being auto-saved. Based on this, I'd say it does not appear to work. :( --- On 2019-12-10 12:26, John Barrow wrote: Slim, Thanks, that plug in appears to describe exactly what I was after, just one minor issue, I am running Netbeans 10.0, shortly to upgrade to version 11. There doesn't appear to be a version to support these instances of NetBeans. However, I have bookmarked the page and will keep an eye on when that version becomes available unless there is another AutoSave plug-in that is more up-to-date.

Any body else remembering on such plugin? best regards Oliver Emilian, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this option (as was hinted during a Google search) before emailing but there wasn't anything in the list. I assume that this is because it was a new file and I hadn't saved it yet. I ideally wanted something that did an auto-snapshot every x minutes (user specified) somewhere external to the main source folder, specifically for the case where I hadn't yet saved my current set of changes so I then had the option to retrieve these latest 'in progress' edits, or start back with the last version that was saved in Netbeans. The way I read it, the "Local History" allows you to see all the previous saved snapshots of your source (a bit like you get for each committed change to a source control system).
