Ok, so you really meant what you wrote;-)
The solution to this problem would still resemble the algorithm of a versio=
n control system ... only with much more frequent snapshots. I gather that =
one could make nedit use a configurable buffer for the undo history (hm, ho=
w many does it store, actually?), amounting to a total protocol of editing =
actions... and then dump that to disk, and also load it from there. One mig=
ht even devise a format that's a bit more platform / build independent than=
 raw memory dump.=20

But you could hack NEdit's code with raw dump/restore of the undo data as a=
 first step. The other option would be to train yourself to do more small a=
nd frequent commits in SVN to lessen the need for the ultra-history. Or use=
 a virtual file system that commits to svn on each write.

I don't know if someone did this to NEdit already, and I doubt it's a stand=
ard feature. But it for sure can be done, technically. Just locate the code=
 dealing with the undo history and add hooks to write the state to disk, al=
so read it from the same. A quick look over the net reveals not much in pri=
or art... just stumbled over http://www.emeditor.com, which can save it's w=
hole state as a workspace, but meh, that's not even Open Source, so it does=
n't count;-)


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
