AutoSave for Query Tool Tabs

[anthonydb]

Describe the solution you'd like

Filing this as a feature rather than a bug report. The new ability to reopen tabs when reopening pgAdmin is a big time saver. However, I have run into an issue where if I keep pgAdmin open, then close my laptop and lose connection to the server, when I reopen my laptop and go into an unsaved tab, I'm unable to save the contents. Neither the save icon nor Command-S works. If I close and restart pgAdmin, I get a message saying that the file has changed and it seems I lose the unsaved changes.

In line with that, it would be nice if pgAdmin had a setting to automatically save open tabs to disk every XX seconds so that I don't have to handle saving manually if I don't want to. It would add just one more layer of protection against losing work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually saving every so often, but I don't always remember.

Additional context

I'm using version 9.6 on macOS Sequoia latest.

Query tool contents are getting saved with the new feature(either manually added content or content populated by opening a file). Could you please share the pop-up shown after pgadmin restart?

If the file is opened and edited in pgadmin and pgadmin is restarted, then -
case 1 - If the file is edited via some other editor, pgadmin will load the edited version in the query tool.
case 2 - If the file is edited via some other editor, pgadmin will show a pop-up saying - Whether to load changes from the file on disk or you want to keep changes done via pgadmin query tool.

This is the message:

It doesn't seem to matter whether I choose Yes or No.

And I am certain the file was not touched by another editor.

I am not able to reproduce the issue. Is the issue intermittent or pops up whenever pgAdmin is restarted?
