How can I disable the autosave feature on IDEA?
env: IDEA-14.0.2, kubuntu14.10 x64
I am using IDEA yesterday to study a source from Spark. When discussing with my partner I write the servo lines directly to the source, then I closed IDEA without ctrl + S
Today when I open the project, I found that these small changes still exist and make the source very messy (and a little difficult to remove as they are all over the place). I assume there is an autosave feature to avoid closing without saving on incident.
how to close this in a specific project? or do it globally?

It cannot currently be disabled. IntelliJ YouTrack has several open issues such as IDEABKL-6460 . There is a long discussion on this question, but from comments like this:
Autosave is built in very deeply and many of the IDE's features simply won't work without it (like compiling, working, etc.). To return unwanted changes there are VCS, Local History and Undo.
We are currently not planning to add an option to disable autosave.
it seems that the implementation of this feature is not planned, and even if it were, it would probably be difficult. But you can leave a comment and vote on an issue, because the more people request this feature, the more likely it will actually be implemented in the future.
