Autosave

[Jay Dee]

Hi,
I really into a project on the weekend and got totally absorbed, when I ran simulation the program crashed. FC is pretty stable so no complaints but I had stupidly forgotten to save anything in the previous hour and lost it.
An autosave feature that keeps a backup version every 5 or 10 minutes would be great, since these things happen.
Thanks,
John.

Or some sort of recovery system like in MS Word/Excel

Nice feature if it uses a different file name. When I'm working on a file I do not want FC to automatically overwrite the file I opened, I might want to keep the original and save the reworked flow chart with a different name.

Agree with that, I usually use version number of my files like 1.0,1.1,1.2 etc.. The autosave could be nice, but sometimes it could cause problem if it's overwrites the existing save, it's not once or twice when I had to backed the older files when something goes wrong..

This is something we are looking into, it would be soemthing you could turn on or off in global settings and would be entirely seperate from the main Flowcode file you are working on (ie it would create a Flowcode_auto.fcf) or something similar.

That would be great!
