Losing local changes after restarting computer

Post by root » Tue Feb 01, 2005 7:54 am

This happened to me twice so far: I had saved local changes that were lost.

Tracking back, the changes were likely not checked in in Visual studio. At that point the computer would reboot (windows update or other) and upon restarting IDE the uncommited changes would be lost.

I understand this is probably the intended behaviour with default options, and I would like to figure out how best to do the following:
  • have IDE halt the reboot / shutdown of IDE if there are uncommited changes and warn the user

    Confrim overwrite of local files if they are different. Considering I am the only developer right now, local files are probably better than server files
I found an option in the client to confirm overwrite (and CRC check), i assume this is answer to the latter, but how about the former?
