Question

Autosaves take faux-focus (when PPro is hidden)

If I hide PPro, autosaves will bring PPro into focus when it begins an auto-save.

 

That is, it activates and displays all the hidden windows. So if you're typing in a browser (which has, for example, the Adobe Support Community open), PPro will suddenly appear on top of the active browser window. What is particularly annoying about this bug is that PPro will actually not be 'active', in the sense that the menu bar will still show the browser as being focus, in spite of the fact that it is behind the PPro windows.

    Hello @Remote Index,

    Thanks for the message. I apologize for the lack of response to this bug report. Checking back in with you. Are you still having this issue? There were improvements to this feature a few versions ago.

     

    I'll move your post to the Discussions board while we await your information.

     

    Thanks,


    Kevin

      No, I really have not experienced it, @Remote Index. Let me know how it is going on this issue.

       

      Cheers,

      I don't think premiere autosaves if you haven't made any changes (I've got my autosave interval set at 5 minutes (I'm a belt and suspenders guy) and I've got Premiere running in the background.  I've been browsing this forum for well more than 5 minutes and haven't seen an autosave...

       

      so if you switch out of premiere to a browser or whatever, it's probably a good idea for premiere to still autosave...  might be programming issues to have it happen in the background.   And there have been other complaints here about this.  Might want to post a bug report to see exactly what's going on...

      But can imagine the screaming here if people lost work because they switched to another program that crashed the system.    Had a friend in the early days of avid who never stopped moving her mouse...  she was nervous...  and she had a crash and lost a full days work because avid didn't autosave if there was mouse movement...  we don't want to play fast and loose with autosave functionality.
