Auto-save

I have just been working on a project for about 1.5 hours but then, just as I was adding the finishing touches, scratch froze. There was some sort of error with the text in the speech boxes, because they kept on flashing and disappearing (but thats another forum topic)

Anyway, I lost my work. I think that scratch should either have an auto-save feature, where work is saved about every 10 minutes, and can also be turned off. OR some sort of recovery file like with Microsoft Word.

Please include this feature in the next version, It is so annoying when you lose a project that you have put hours of hard work and effort into.

Thanks for reading,

Re: Auto-save

Well, first of all, maybe you could try saving every 10 minutes!  wink
Then again, I suppose you could sort of get 'lost' in your work, so I suppose it would be nice to have. I suppose it couldn't hurt.

Yes, I get 'carried away' and forget to save. And I'm not the only one.

Re: Auto-save

That has never happened to me but why take the chance?
I think it should have the auto-save feature in it so not many people lose their work.
I know many people have had this happen
