Hi Joachim,

thanks for sm, I'm often use it for weeks - as notepad! And as such some
option to save and autosave would be really great! Maybe it could autosave to
~/.sm/autosave.1 for the first running process (yes, I run several
sometimes...) and so on. And maybe only do this when started with --notepad or
--autosave or such :)

What do you think about the general idea?


cheers,
	Holger

'sm' is the source package for r-cran-sm. Sorry.

Hi Holger,

sorry for the late reply, due to bug re-assigning I didn’t see it earlier.

not much. My main guideline for maintaining sm is to avoid user options,
and the second is to avoid feature creep. So I wouldn’t want to see an
option for it.

One could argue that sm could simply always re-display whatever it
showed the last time, but that might be annoying at times, and I like
that it starts with a smiley.

Greetings,
Joachim
