Question

PP save in background gone?

Is it my imagination or has save-in-background disappeared? I seem to be interrupted in my workflow more than ever with save progress bars. At first I was blaming it on how large my project was to save. But now I'm not so sure. Hmmmm...

Hi BrownFish,

In version 24.3, so about a year ago, we changed Autosave to run in the background - it was a popular user feature request. Here's a link that discusses it,

and I'll save you the trouble of going there with this blurb.

Background Auto Save

The new, improved Auto Save runs in the background without interrupting your work— backups can be saved in increments as short as one minute.

Auto Save creates each backup of your project as a snapshot in time. Browse the Auto Save scratch disk folder to retrieve a specific backup. Background Auto Save will also update the original project file each time you save a backup copy.

The default location for auto-save is the same folder as the project file, but you can set a different location in Project Settings > Scratch Disks.

 

Happy autosaving,

-DMc

Thanks Dan. But...I guess I'm not being clear. My Autosave is on...but it is NOT saving in the background. It is instead interrupting my workflow every 7mins with  a save dialogue box. I am very familiar with the autosave feature and I applauded its arrival. But now it appears to be not working.
