pschlie Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Although it's nice top be able to prevent the auto-saving a file when edits may not be desired to be retained; it's fairly annoying for the confirmation to be presented periodically when no edits have been performed (as changing view orientation should not be considered an edit). Ideally auto-saving should only be performed after some unit of time after the first true otherwise unsaved edit was performed. Quote Link to comment
0 Petri Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hear, hear! In addition, at present it is also quite possible to close a modified file without any warning. Quote Link to comment
0 Ray Libby Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Set Autosave to Operations instead of Minutes. Another benefit is it won't kick you out of text boxes when the time is up to Autosave. Quote Link to comment
0 pschlie Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Better, however believe a hybrid solution would be better: - save with confirmation after N operations AND T units of time. (thereby one won't be pestered to save prior to T units of time, even after performing N possibly very simple operations within an short period of time). Quote Link to comment
0 Petri Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Yup. That would make sense. Deleting 30 redundant lines is of little importance and you don't want to be prompted to save a 300MB file for that. Edited December 28, 2006 by Petri Quote Link to comment
0 grant_PD Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 And the auto-save really needs to not be active when in the middle of a time consuming process...ie. rendering. Having auto save on during a render is a sure fire way to hang or at the very least increase rendering times drastically. Quote Link to comment

Although it's nice top be able to prevent the auto-saving a file
when edits may not be desired to be retained; it's fairly annoying
for the confirmation to be presented periodically when no edits
have been performed (as changing view orientation should not be
considered an edit).
Ideally auto-saving should only be performed after some unit of
time after the first true otherwise unsaved edit was performed.
