Recover Save Files!
Well, Scratch just crashed when I clicked save, and I have to start over on Minescratch.
Scratch should have one of those hard to notice autosave features, and it saves a backup of the project somewhere, I don't know. It should save every, maybe 2 minutes.
So that if Scratch crashes, it will do something similar to what Microsoft Word does when you start it up again: it will ask you if you want to recover the autosaved backup.
Because without that, I'm in a bad mood if Scratch does crash.
Feedback/support is much appreciated. Thanks
Also, please tell me if this has already been suggested, or if it will already be implemented. Thanks again

Re: Recover Save Files!
I would really like that, but I don't support because some projects take a full minute to save, so that would mean having to deal with 1 minute pauses every two minutes. The way I get around not having this feature is that I save my projects often.

In that case, hopefully Scratch 2.0 will have a faster saving mechanism, lol.
OR they could figure out how to make it autosave "silently", more in the background than making you wait for it. And it should only take up a little bit of memory, so you can still work pretty fast.
Will Scratch 2.0 still use Squeak language? Because when making big projects the memory can get unstable and overflow. For me, at least.

They have not said that it won't use Squeak.

In that case, I support. Also, if I'm correct, scratch will be flash-based so it won't use Squeak.
