Auto-save empty workspaces

Please add an option to automatically save changes to the workspace when there are zero files, particularly when TextPad is exiting.

My TextPad icon isn't just

Code: Select all

C:\applications\textpad\TextPad.exe
it's

Code: Select all

C:\applications\textpad\TextPad.exe c:\applications\textpad\workspace\textpad.tws
This way, the files I used last time always reopen the next time I open TextPad.

The reason I request this change? It's annoying when I close all files, and then shutdown TextPad, that it always asks me "Save changes to workspaces?". I'd like to have it default to yes on application close.

:o Would this not overwrite your workspace file with an empty workspace :?:

It's always puzzled me as to why Textpad does this, as Textpad automatically saves the workspace when you open a new one.

There should at least be an option, as jeffy described.

However, it would be even better if there were be a property that makes a workspace "unchangeable" so that it always loads in it's original form (changes to the workspace aren't saved), rather annoying the 95% of users who prefer Textpad's default behaviour (always save).
