Thanks Darko, but this isn't a solution, it's a work-around. I am using GEdit because a) I am very familiar with it and b) I have LaTeX setup with it exactly the way I like. At this point in time, switching to another text editor (regardless of whether I would ultimately think it was better than GEdit or not) is not an option.
>From what I gather, the problem seems to be that the GEdit devs have chosen their way of saving files because they are convinced it is more efficient. Maybe this is the case. I know that GEdit prides itself on having few options and many sensible defaults, but maybe this issue is large enough that it would warrant a checkbox in the preferences dialog so that the user can choose which method of saving they prefer. The code bloat due to adding an option like this would be minimal; the biggest hit would be in the user-interface, which I do understand is an issue with the devs, but sometimes defaults just aren't enough. -Scott On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 3:19 AM, Darko Vrsic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Scott Armitage wrote: > >> Or, alternatively, a GEdit plugin that I can install?
