Following a discussion on another forum, the issue of autosave came up. Many consoles automatically save the current show as it is being edited, keeping incremental copies (as would happen if you hit shift-Update every 5 minutes, say). Would it be a useful feature to allow autosave to be turned on so that after some configurable period the desk has unsaved changes the desk automatically saves it, and if a different show is loaded when the current show has unsaved changes then the current show is autosaved. Obviously it should be configurable how autosave works and how often often. I'd suggest options to switch on/off
1) saving unsaved edits after a configurable period
2) saving unsaved edits before loading a different show
3) Whether to prompt before autosaving on loading a new show.
Thoughts?
