autosave files

[dim2r]

I often perform the following task ---

1. load text from database into temporary file
2. compare temporary text with some file at the disk
3. load merged result into database

When i run winmerge i need the following functionality

1. Save file immediately after i moved any changes from one file into another.
2. Fast exit winmerge by one click or keyboard shortcut
   This behavior would save much time for me because i often perform such tasks.

So i propose to add some command line switches to turn on that behavior.

1. --quick_save
2. --quick_exit

I think that is not a big deal to implement such switched and they would be usefull for other people.

Best wishes ,
Dmitry

Another use of a feature like this would be when WinMerge is run for 3-way merges from another tool. I have it setup with the /am option for automerge, but this still requires me to click OK to the "no conflicts..." messagebox and then save the middle file manually. An autosave option in combination with /am would save some or all of those steps.
