How about creating an on/off button so at least you have the option to autosave.<BR/><BR/>your second point does have some credibility, but autosave could save the file as a duplicate, leaving the original untouched. in case of a crash, one could revert to the duplicate file and recover work. moreover, an on/off option would at least give people a choice and right now, there isn't any.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35330979.post-83439092645643559592008-12-02T22:00:00.000+01:002008-12-02T22:00:00.000+01:00Totally agreeTotally agreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
