bubba Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Is there an auto-save option in A:M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 15, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 15, 2010 SVN is a means of updating the work of everyone working from a central repository on a server. it's not auto-save. I think one of the sgross.com plugins does auto save? Anyone? I just trained myself to save frequently because I like to give descriptive names to my versions in addition to a number.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 15, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 15, 2010 Autosave plugin seems to be included in v16. Try looking here for the instructions, maybe: http://www.sgross.com/plugins/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks. I did find it in the Project Info. But something strange is happening. It shows up twice in the Plug-ins view (although there is only one in the HXT folder) Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Lucky (rim shot) But seriously folks, I see no indication that either plug-in works. I have tried both on, one one - one off, and nothing seems to work. Before I report it as a bug I wanted to give someone else a chance to answer, maybe with a solution.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 16, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 16, 2010 I just see one in mine. Does a new blank PRJ have two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 16, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just to see... open up your PRJ in a text editor and see if this block, near the top, occurs once or twice... AutoSaveUse=TRUE AutoSaveSaveTime=5 AutoSaveDir=../../Documents/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yes. Screen shot attached. And when selecting a destination the plug-in defaults to the compiled code within the contents folder of the application itself. I don't know what system you use robcat2075 - mine is a Mac Pro - 10.6.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 16, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 16, 2010 I just tried it for the first time after watching Jason's tut. I'm on Windows 7. It is saving files but not to where I thought i specified. It's saving them to a similarly named location elsewhere on my drive. Try doing a search on your drive for the first part of your file name and see what it finds. I'm not sure if that is working right or not. Windows 7 is a bit confusing on where some standard folders actually reside. On the Mac i have no idea. I would at least report the fact that you are getting two listings for Autosave in a new PRJ and submit a new PRJ that has that in it. For now, delete one of the dual autosave blocks in the Text editor, resave under a new name and load that and see what shows up, and search to see if it is really saving something somewhere.

Developer yoda64 Posted December 16, 2010 Developer Share Posted December 16, 2010 It's a problem with the plugin , occurs only on the mac . I'm looking into this when I have time left .... In general , this function should be moved inside A:M , it would make much things easier, but I'm now in the christmas stress at work (back in 2008 with workload, today 16 hours , the customers cranking up ) , and I'm trying to put out the RC before christmas . So please patient with me .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 That is fine with me - I won't post a bug report. I was able to figure out which choice works - turning on the bottom one works. Now that I have figured this out, how do I recover from an Auto-save file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer yoda64 Posted December 17, 2010 Developer Share Posted December 17, 2010 The problem will be solved in the rc , temporary fix , remove the Align.hxt from the hxt folder , it causes the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 What does the align.hxt plug-n do? Does it align whole objects, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
