Default Autosave bug (FIXED)

Problem - autosave does not save every set time interval.



Expected behaviour: To see one rpp-bak for each minute.
(I have set it to one minute for testing purposes.)

I have recently started a post about this but did not get any definitive answer. http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=187970

It looks to me like the timer is reset every time the user manually saves the project.

Yes, I also expected to have each backup no matter if I saved or no.

I think the clock runs in edit time, not continuously. This may be what you are seeing.

Bumping this.

Autosave does indeed watch the overall "last save" time and not "last autosave" time. You can easily watch this behaviour at a timer in the status panel below TCP.

This means that when you hit ctrl+s faster than what a set time for autosave is, you get no rpp-baks at all! Which is a huge problem, work-wise and design-wise.

Personally I prefer it the way it is. What's the use case explanation for wanting it on a hard schedule instead?

Edit: oh, maybe I get it: you're using the backup files as a way to time travel through your project, rather than just insurance against loss?
