v14 autosave?

Post by wil » Sun Feb 17, 2013 12:20 am

Hello,

After i installed v14 I noticed the edited script saves automatically from time to time.
I don't know how to turn it off. I unchecked backups, but that didn't solved the problem.
Before install i did not remove v13 first btw, but i installed v14 into another folder.

Is there a way to solve this? I want to descide when a script must be saved and not the editor.

thnx,
wil

I think this relates to issue 106.

- Debugger saves script before running/stepping (if it has already been saved and is not a new macro with no name/file)

Would it be possible to NOT save the script if no changes have been made? I often open old scripts then F8 though some portion to see how the script does some task. If I do that now I've saved the script even though nothing has changed. The editor is smart enough to not ask for a save when closing if no changes have been made. Seems like the same logic could be applied to the save on run feature. (Which I really like by the way.)

It is logged, however will need to wait for Marcus to investigate further.

In the later versions this has been fixed, there is an option in the editor that you can turn off to prevent this from occurring.

I made this quickly in case any newbies are looking for the backup options.

That's it, turn that off and the auto save will be turned off.
