Auto Save, Backup Files etc.

[Glenn Woodward]

Doug,

Would't it be very simple to have:

Autosave - specify the autosave interval - this overwrites the existing file, same as a save.

Backup - specify the backup interval - this saves to separate backup files. The maximum # of sequential backups can be nominated.

Having backups work on a per day basis is meaningless. Some projects fly ahead and much, very detailed work can be completed in minutes or hours. Other jobs are a lot slower and may only need to be backed up daily (or less).

I am for having the backup interval and maximum number of backups under the control of the user.

AND, if you are going to use some form of date file naming, just be aware that no everone in the world uses date formats as per USA!
