Autosave

[hong]

Can I make a command to save to backup immediately after by clicking it? 'SetPref (41, true)' doesn't do it. I think this changes the preference setting, rather than executing backup.

Thanks in advance.

SetPrefInt(60, 1); sets 1 min. save interval. Is there a selector for operation interval?

It looks like we only store one value for the interval and then use a flag to toggle between "time" and "ops". Try calling SetPref(39, false) to set it to "ops".

SetPrefInt(60, 1); { set save interval to 1 }

SetPref(39, false); { set to save by number of operations }

Thanks for your reply. Yes, i can set this by 1 operation so that autosave menu pops up. Then I say OK to save to back up and set my operation for usual interval by going to the preference menu again. Can I do this all inside of a script? Can I pause the script to bring preference pop-up, assign OK value, and return to the script so that I can reset my interval?

No, but you could do the following in the middle of your script:

DoMenuTextByName('Save As', 0);

It poses a save dialog, but after the user hits OK your script will continue. You don't need to change the auto-save settings at all for this.
