I believe there's some autosaving and backup feature in Indesign, where to turn off this option or rather set to a longer time..

My Indesign will get slow at some time interval.

Heeeeellllp..

You can't disable InDesign's autosave or its building up an undo cache. What you can do is save documents using the equivalent of "Save As" in the UI, which deletes the document's undo cache:

myDoc.save (File (myDoc.fullName));

It's not really an auto-save. You're talking about the undo stack. The

functionality is integral to InDesign, and you can't turn it off. You

can clear the undo stack every once in a while by doing a save as to

get performance to pick up.

Peter,

Sorry about repeating your responses.

I have to stop responding to questions while commuting. By the time I reconnect to the internet, I keep finding that someone else answered before me...
