I lost a full days work yesterday! Shocked Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

So here is my first public script to fix that!
Cool
Code:

/*
Notepad++ autosave and launch
If notepad++ is active, and you have not touched the keyboard or mouse for 5 sec, it saves all.
Then, it checks to see if there has been no activity for 15 min, if notepad++ is still runing, even if it is not active, it brings it to the front and saves.. (lunch time) :-)
*/
DetectHiddenText, On
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
SetBatchLines -1
#SingleInstance ignore
#WinActivateForce


#notrayicon
;if notepad++ is not running
   process, exist, notepad++.exe
   If ! errorLevel
      {
      run, %A_ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe
      }
sleep, 60000

dome:
loop, 45 ;after 7.5 min,
{
sleep, 10000
if A_TimeIdlePhysical > 5000 ;after at least 5 sec of not doing anything and if notepad++ is currently active
   {
   If WinActive("ahk_class Notepad++")
      {
      blockinput, On
      send, {Control Down}{Shift Down}s{Control Up}{Shift Up} ;save all
      Blockinput, off
      }
      
   process, exist, notepad++.exe
   If ! errorLevel
      {
      exitapp ;if not running, exit
      }
   }
}
if A_TimeIdlePhysical > 900000 ;if idle time more than 15 min, then force it to activate and then save.
{
winactivate ("ahk_class Notepad++")
sleep, 1000
blockinput, On
send, {Control Down}{Shift Down}s{Control Up}{Shift Up} ;save all
Blockinput, off
goto, dome
}
goto, dome

---edit added blockinput

Just run the script. After a period of inactivity (keyboard/mouse) it will automatically save your files.

If you start the script and notepad++ is not running, it will start it (provided it is located at %A_ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe). If you exit notepad++, the script will also exit.

Can this script be used on other software also?
If so what do I need to change?

Just find out what keys you need it to work with by Doing ALT on your keyboard then just use the keys to find out the sequence and use Windows Spy to find out the title and stuff.

I use notepad++ for a statistical software package and would like to adopt your code. But I know nothing about real programming. Where should I run your script? Could you give me some detailed instructions? I use window XP.

Many thanks Smile Smile Smile

Nice try, but that plugin's smallest time interval is 1 minute. That's completely useless to me, and many others who are concerned about losing a huge sum of data between 60 seconds... This script [with slight modifications for my purposes at least] is the perfect solution for that.

Great job on your first public script, DeWild1!
