After an unplanned system restart, all of my Notepad++ temp (and unsaved) tabs are gone.

How can I avoid this in future? I don't want to have to save explicitly every single temp file with a file name.

Is there a plugin for NP++, which saves my session every time I'm editing an active tab or every X minutes?

Or is there an equivalent (and comfortable) editor to NP++, which autostores it's session automatically?

You can find a Notepad++ plugin called AutoSave for autosaving your files here: https://sites.google.com/site/fstellari/nppplugins

It autosaves every minute, but it's configurable, and allows you to choose to save only the current document or all open documents.
