It was kind of annoying that my entire TrueType cache was gone after just saving the image and keep on working.<br><br>The problem here is image file bloating; the hibernation is intended to save (quite a bit of) space in the image file. If we only hibernate when save&quitting then we will see patterns in the snapshot file size like <br><br>100mb<br>112mb<br>121mb<br>(quit) 101mb<br><br>.. which maybe wouldn't bother anyone, maybe would annoy some?<br><br>Also, a few save-no-quits followed by a damn-I-broke-it-quit-no-save would lave the large file as the one you have to start up. It should start ok but might be a problem for server cases where startup time is important?<br><br>High-tech-insane solution - use DTL's spawn-an-image and have that image do the hibernate & save!
