automatically saveing projects
I've heard of a lot of Scratchers that have lost their hard work because they didn't save it every few minutes, I think that Scratch should make it automatically save projects as your working to prevent awesome projects from being lost.

Re: automatically saveing projects
I support. It's annoying when Scratch becomes unresponsive because of long scripts (or just because it feels like annoying me).

Re: automatically saveing projects
Sorry, but I don't support. What if you were testing possible modifications to a complicated script, it auto-saved, the test didn't work, and you forget how to undo it? (remember, most of us don't make back-ups)
After about 3 seconds you'll find a way to counter my example, I'm sure.

It could be like on MS Word where it only opens the autosaved version if it detects that it crashed.

Re: automatically saveing projects
I support, if there's a way to turn it off.

I'm not sure you can detect a crash; its definition is pertty vague. Ex. Some people only consider a crash to be a crash when scratch closes itself with a very bad error, while some consider even minor things like extreme lag a crash.

Re: automatically saveing projects
I support. You should be able to turn on, and off autosave.

Well maybe just if it closed without saving. Then it could could come up with "This project was closed without saving. Would you like to open a recovered version of this project?"

That's a good suggestion.

Re: automatically saveing projects
I support, but only if there is an option to turn it off.
Because I like to experiment with Scratch a lot, and I sometimes use Scratch to make my signatures and such and then I either clean it up or enhance it a bit in GIMP.

Re: automatically saveing projects
so in the end it all comes down to this:
Have an option for auto save
or
Have a button that pops up saying "This project was closed without saving. Would you like to open a recovered version of this project?"
As long as Scratchers don't lose there projects I think that these are both great ideas
