Textode is evolving through alpha builds. Check current compatibility and keep independent backups of important files.
Unsaved tabs are not saved files
An unsaved buffer may be preserved in application recovery storage without being written to its original filename. That distinction matters: recovery state can help when an application closes, but it is not equivalent to a permanent file or backup.
What a session can remember
Useful recovery data includes file paths, unsaved text, tab order, which tab was active, editor selections and view positions. Split panes and detached windows add complexity. Verify each type of recovery independently before assuming it works for every layout.
Safer development habits
Use version control for source code, save critical changes regularly and maintain backups. Do not test crash recovery by intentionally interrupting important server work. Use disposable local files and confirm that a recovered buffer can be saved normally.
Current Textode support
Recent Textode alpha versions implement tab and unsaved-buffer recovery, along with reopen-closed-tab support. Full undo-history persistence and every cross-window recovery scenario still require more testing. Review the release notes for the version you installed.
