  • Agree, @Jesus has a lot to answer for.

  • I’m pretty happy with autosave as well. I lost my first dozen projects in Gadget assuming it did me the same favor as every other app.

  • Having just lost the most promising thing I've made in Electribe Wave with an accidental swipe across the pattern selector, I'm feeling quite fond of auto-save right now... Checkpoints are important, though.

    That's true, when opening or creating a new one, Gadget should at least ask if I want to save my current song!
    I'm so used to hitting "Save" from time to time that I didn't even notice at first :p

    I like auto-save, and I think it would have been standard long ago if storage wasn't slow. Chances are, you want to manually save at some point, so I just make a backup when I'm at a place I want to preserve. The old way you had to remember to save constantly (especially for us paranoids,) and before you closed the program. Undo handles most "going back" in time. I never even notice auto-save doing its thing, so what's the problem?

  • How about making autosave an option? The reckless amongst us can then turn it off and lose stuff and the rest of us can carry on as normal...

    Exactly !! I wanna be wreckless !! I'll save when I'm ready and if I fail... Well, that's my own stupidity lol

    And it´s an added data-loss, if you did not save manually ;-)
    Any auto-save should never overwrite the original data without a way to get back.

    The main problem are Apps, that do "auto-save" in form of overwriting the original data and offer no way to go back.

    Also bad are Apps, that tend to create more and more auto-save files ... without automatically cleaning up.
    And iOS is very bad with deleted files anyway, it is much better to not create lots of files from the beginning.

    A working concept is easy and can handle all problems - without lossing data, without overwriting data, without loss after a crash or unintended app closure and after a crash.

    THIS, is what Apple should ask and recommend ... NOT what it currently and formerly recommended. And i fear that this will not change.

    Preach 🙌

  • I hate it when opening a host and it automatically loads all IAA apps etc it had in the last project. It's an easy way to get IAA zombies! That's why I have a "Reload last session" button in AUM that users has to press manually!

    But AUM does automatically save the latest state, which is a brilliant feature and has cumulatively saved me days of my life :)

  • Autosave + Link has changed the tempo of all my tracks at some point or other.

    Good to hear :) Yeah that's true, auto-save is great but auto-reload can be bad!

  • I like autosave....if it actually really save my last state after a crash. In iOS it mostly does not.
    If f.e. logic crashes (happens not too often) it asked me if i want to load the autosaved thing or not.
    With an iOS set-up all is messed up mostly.

    AUM is flawless imo nothing about it is bad.... Only thing I wish was that it could record out to loopy, cubasis.. Etc without going thru ab3

    I think there should always be the choice to enable or disable it.
    I love it when I open my DAW of choice and everything is loaded up like when I left it so I can immediately capture my new ideas.

    Hey, I never said it was stupid. You could be trying to impress girls with your daredevil antics...

  • I love autosave. Rather than save my work after I do something good, I prefer to save tons of randomly named copies when my spider sense tickles, right before I might do something bad.

  • I hate apps that constantly save on the original project even without autoload. It doesn't promote experimentation.

  • @Max23 said:
    autosave is ok, because I can't press propellor/apple & S
    autoload is dangerous, because it can lead to an never-ending crash fest loop ...

    what really bothers me is that there is no system wide undo = apple/propellor & Z :#
    and shake to undo is a bad joke :s
    what a great computer, huh? :# >:)
    and no progress here for years and years
    instead they waste precious development time on Animoji & emoticons & stupid chat animations
    just what the world was waiting for :#
    /end of rant

    There is no such thing as a simple system-wide undo.
    Every developer has to take care of the undo function individually, depending on the app functionality. In other words: Additional code and additional memory requirements.

    I guess we all agree that this is not the kind of "AutoSave" we want.
    It can be done right though, and it's certainly not a bad idea to let the user decide how she wants it to work.

  • Yes. however will all Devs implement it properly? Prolly not. Even Apple does it with Garageband which I totally hate the way it works. You have the clone the project before trying anything out or you lose it.

    Hey, this forum could be the best place to discuss the best options!
