Saving a show

No, there is no "auto save", but you can set the desk to "save on record" in Settings. This might slow your desk down, if you are working on a big show(file). I will not lecture you about the benefits of a UPS. ( Ups, I think I just did ;)) ) You might have a good case now getting one approved by the almighty Finance Department.....

Hi there -

As Florian said, we don't have AutoSave, and here's why... It always saves at the wrong moment. For small show files this may not be seen as a problem, but for very large files, it can really be a pain when the software decides it's time to save the file just as you need to do something critical. We have made improvements in this area, so that show saving is not as console-consuming as in the past, and in v6.1 we added a gentle reminder about saving your show file if you have made changes that have not been saved in the last 30 minutes. However it still is a good idea to be religious about saving your own data as you program (it only takes a second to press ALT & UPDATE, MODIFY.) And, if someone has the ability to flip a switch and cut off your power from afar, or you are running on a generator that may run out of fuel (which is what happened to me...) then the UPS is really a very good idea for more than just show data reasons.

Thanks much -

Sarah

Thank you everyone.

I do see we should have a UPS but the silly person will be hung out to dry.
