[josm-dev] Feature Request: Timed Save

[MP]

On my old computer JOSM was quite a favorite target for OOM killer (1
gb java heap) or prone to OutOfMemory exceptions (500-600 mb java
heap). I think neither of these can be fixed in JOSM. There are also
other crashes that can't be fixed in the JOSM code - power outages,
blue screens of death, kernel crashes, whole computer freezes, etc
.... So some form of autosave would be nice.
