Files saved when focus lost

Postby dome » Mon Aug 30, 2004 2:15 am

My UE v10.20a saves a modified file EVERYTIME I switch to another tab or when the application losts focus. The "autosave every
n minutes" settings have no effect on this problem. Does anyone know how to disable this?

Was there ever a solution found for this?

Bump
I just ran into this as well. I found my files were automatically being saved when I switched to another file in UE. Is there a setting to turn this off?

Thanks

I got a non-forum message telling me that I had set the configuration to edit the files WITHOUT a temp file. I checked, and that was the problem. I had intended for it to edit a file without the .bak backup file. I changed the config to edit with a temp file and set the backup tab to edit without a .bak file.

Life is good.

Hrmm... I came here looking for a similar answer. But it seems now that it was trying to auto-saving unnamed files after the time limit. So I checked the "Do not auto-save unnamed (new) files" box under File-Handling/Backup (version 12.20b+1).

My usual problem, PIBCAK.
