Feature suggestion - Auto save worksapce

[pjsmith]

Hello,

One of the most frustrating issues is to work all day adding lines, zones, making minor changes to charts etc., and have the app crash and loose it all. As I understand it, drawing objects etc., are only saved when you save the workspace. That's usually at end of session when it asks you. If you get a crash somtime in the prior 12 hours and have not saved the workspace, you loose all your work.

An auto-save workspace every 60 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever (just as in about every single app where you work on documents etc), if changes have been made, or at least for the drawing objects, would save a lot of frustration and be welcome

Thanks.

A very valid suggestion, but just another thought. Might be better to just get in the habit of saving your worksheet with the keyboard shortcut (Cntl/Shift/S) every once in a while.I do it constantly especially after adding anything to the charts. There have been times where I made a mistake(like accidently deleting a chart) and was glad that I had not saved and could close and open the app again to get back to where I was.
