<user> hi there
<user> i wonder where gedit saves its backup files
<user> i had the backup feature enabled
<user> and laptop battery died
<user> i wonder where the unsaved documents go...
<user> hmm...
<user> looking here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/243768/where-can-i-find-gedits-backup-files-and-how-to-open-them
<user> it says nothing about backing up the UNSAVED documents...
<user> fffuuuuu
<user> "I have run a couple of tests [for my own sanity] and it appears as if the autosave feature only works when you are working on a file."
<user> how incredibly worthless. well, looking for another text editor...
