I recently lost some work in TextEdit by stupidly clicking on "Don't Save." (See:http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-applications-games/183107-dont-save.html) In that discussion I learned that TextEdit has an autosave feature, but that it doesn't work on a previously unsaved file when "Don't Save" is selected (Duh!). So, I am proposing a failsafe workaround for dummies like me. (See avatar.)
I have created and saved a file named "TextEdit Temp File." From now on when I start TextEdit, I'll just use File/Open Recent and select my new Temp file. Since it's a previously Saved file, the autosave feature will protect my work 100%.
Question: Is there a way to get TextEdit to Open my new Temp file by default each time I bring up the app? Comments?
