Auto-Save Option pleaseee

Please we need an autosave daemon or similar, so the work can be saved in case of tragedy. Photoshop crashes from time to time and if you forgot to save it's so frustrating... I've just lost 2 hours of hard work and it's not my first time..
Hope you implement something similar like the Auto-Save in Microsoft Word...
Cheers

Have you done a Forum search on the issue?
Because it has come up previously and some people think it would not really be a good idea.
Suppose Photoshop were to start saving several-GB-files where the saving process might take several minutes (probably the only halfway plausible reason for working without saving for considerable lengths of time) in the background – as a laymen I would expect this could cause a sudden and considerable drag on Photoshop’s performance.
But then I could be wrong …
I've just lost 2 hours of hard work and it's not my first time.
If it’s not the first time I wonder why you still work such lengths of time without saving.
Anyway, there’s one comfort: One is usually much faster doing an image the second time.

Auto-Save-Option with increasing filenames (counter, timestamp eg.)

Hello!
I want to pdf a job of 30.000 single printer pages, which are generated by a computer programme.
I'm able to choose the Autos-Save-Option by setting a dedicated folder at the printer settings. But there ist no option to install an increasing filename (counter, timestamp eg.). For that reason Acrobat overwrites the previous file each time (30.000x).
In some freeware-tools this funktion is implemented. Where or in which version can I find this funktion in Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings from Germany!

Hi, HiddenMist,
Following the suggestion, I have removed all information I can remove. I have set all settings to "contacts only" that can be set to such. I cannot change my avatar because I cannot save changes (without adding my last name, which is currently blank). I have left everything blank that I can leave blank. I have been contacted three times after I have made these changes, as suggested.
In the Windows Desktop version of the Skype software, I can navigate to my profile settings: Skype -> Profile -> Edit your profile.
My work-around still works ... for me, at least, which is why I continue to recommend it.
Hi, Bartholomue, and welcome to the community,
Did you know that if you look up how to delete your name from the Skype directory, it says that you are effectively disabling your account? Your name will not show up in searches, and it will remain in the contact lists of those who have already added you, but those contacts will no longer be able to call you.
Yes, indeed, this is true.
Best regards,
Elaine

Auto Save options

I can't find any option to tell Pr CS3 where I want it to create the Auto Save .prproj files. It seems that it always creates a new folder under the folder whereever the main project files them selves are kept. Is that really the case?
I'd REALLY like to have the option of having my backup, emergency files written to a different partiton than what I'm working on. Am I missing something or is this jus "the way it is"?
Thanks,
Mark

I turn off AutoSave altogether and make regular incremental saves. My choice of location, my choice of versioning. Makes it easy to return to a working project should something blow up in my face. Which hasn't happened very much at all.

How to cancel auto save option

Hi All,
When using OWB, it is very tricky when close a windows the change was auto saved without ask whether want to save.
do you guys have any idea about that?
Thanks

Hi,

Deployment Preferences
Prompt for Commit: Select this option to prompt the user to commit design time changes before a deployment. When you deploy objects from the Design Center, if there are any unsaved design changes, then Oracle Warehouse Builder prompts you to save these changes by displaying Oracle Warehouse Builder Warning dialog box. Click Save to commit unsaved design changes. Click Cancel to terminate the deployment.
If you do not set this option, then Oracle Warehouse Builder saves any design changes before the deployment job.
But this is only by deployment, others you can save/cancel your changes by exit.

How to auto save and pre-fill some textfields

first time i open a pdf, there are some textfields. they are all empty.
i click on a button to call a web service. this returns some text and fill in those textfields.
if one of these textfields, "message", has got an auto-filled text "success", then the pdf needs to remember the text in some of the rest of the fields. next time when the user open it, those fields should be with the text generated last time.
notice that the "Do you want to save the file" auto-popup window won't meet my requirement. even if the user clicks on "no" for this popup window, now that i get a "success" transaction from the web service, the fields should be saved.
i read through this, but may not be able to use it. i only have LiveCycle Designer ES3. I don't know how those adminui or process work.
http://livecycleapps.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/livecycle-es2-using-action-profiles-to-pre-f ill-a-form-for-display-in-workspace/

Hi,
in Designer ES3 there is an Auto Save option in the form properties you can activate.
Remember, the form needs Usage Rights to be savable through Reader, so you need Acrobat to apply those rights to your form first.

Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.
Here's my PC's specs if you needed to know......
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Hi ,
Autosave and Auto- recover is two different option . If you need to disable or set the Autosave options please follow the steps below :
1 ) Create a New Document dialog box has an option to set Autosave OFF & ON
2) In Document PI under Properties section click on wrench image i.e Edit document properties button and turn ON / OFF Auto -Save option.
I hope this help.
Thanks

Does Edge Animate CC have an auto-save function?

Hi there, I'm migrating from Flash to Edge Animate. In Flash there is a customisable auto-save option - each 10 minutes, each 30 minutes etc. Is Adobe Edge Animate has something similar to this?

No but it is needed!

Auto-save didn't!!

After nearly 4 hours of editing in PE7, I got the Windows XP error message telling me that the program had encountered a problem and needed to shut down. Just before that, I had clicked on the button to make a DVD. My first reaction was that I wouldn't have lost much because auto-save was enabled, with saves every 20 minutes. However, virtually no edits had been saved. Looking at the PREL files in the autosave folder, I saw that there had been three saves from three hours previous, before I had done much work. For some reason PE7 had stopped autosaving. In preferences, auto-save is still enabled. I have both versions 3 and 7 installed on my PC, and this project was originally started in 3, so many files are saved in the version 3 folders including the PREL files, if that matters.
Any ideas what went wrong? I know that auto-save used to work reliably. Searching the forum and knowledgebase turns up nothing about this problem.
(my computer is a PC with an Intel 6700 Duo Core Pentium CPU and 2G of RAM running Windows XP Pro SP3)
Additional: I now see in the help file something I didn't notice before. It states "Note: Each time you open a project, you must save it at least once before the Auto Save option takes effect." I don't recall having manually saved it even once, yet it did auto-save three times, as mentioned above.

Thanks guys. I may set a timer to remind me to do my own saves next time. The autosave periods were the default 20 minutes, and I still don't understand why there were 3 saves early on, during a time when I was away from the computer. Only after I resumed working did that function stop. One more thing: the help file says that when restarting after a crash I should have seen a message asking if I wanted to resume from the last saved configuration, or something like that. There was no such message. Also, I see that the autosave PREL files are contained in the Autosave folder, but there is also a PREL, apparently the newest one, in the file path one level higher where all of the data files are contained.
This is a little bit away from the original question, but can I now delete version 3 since I'm (generally) satisfied with V7. I don't want to jeopardize the current project, which still has some more editing to be done, especially after losing the aforementioned edits.
One more thing: would increasing RAM from the current 2 gigs help prevent a crash like the one the occurred.

Multi-threaded, 64-bit, Auto-Recovery/Auto-Save

Illustrator needs more horsepower. Make it 64-bit and able to use more of the cores that more and more users have these days.
Illustrator now runs much better than some of the older versions, but abrupt crashing sadly still happens. At some of the worst times.
Can we please have an Auto-Recovery (like InDesign... ) or Auto-Save option in the Preferences?
Sometimes 'doing it over again' is just not acceptable.

Hi,
I suggest you to increase the value kernel.shmmax = 8589934592 of this parameter in sysctl.conf to kernel.shmmax = 1288490188
Later if you want to increase the size of SGA then you need to modify the kernel.shmmax = 8589934592 value. In general practice we keep kernel.shmmax value little greater then the value of SGA.
Refer MOS tech note:
*ORA-27102 Database Will Not Start With SHMMAX Set To 8589934592 (8GB) [ID 461519.1]*
*Linux Big SGA, Large Memory, VLM - White Paper [ID 260152.1]*
thanks,

AD connector Auto Save creating issue

Hi everyone,
i have integrated my AD with OIM 9.1 on jboss. All is working fine. I am able to provision and reconcile the user. But As soon as i enable the autosave option under process definition and then assign the AD resource to any user , create user task getting rejected with exception "java.lang.classCastException. Java.lang.String cannot cast to Java.lang.boolean thrown by adapter "ADCS Create User". While if i unchecked the "Auto Save" option under process definition same is working fine. After unchecking the auto save option i am not putting any value. All the values are pre-populated automatically using pre-pop adapters so any possibility of submitted data (to ADCS Create User) mismatch is not the reason. I have tried it 2 instances and both are showing the same behaviour :(

You need to provide default values for your checkboxes with a 0 or a 1.

Hey Adobe Team- is there a rationale behind not having the "auto-save" feature in illustrator? It would be a VERY helpful option :)

We have had several issues with illustrator just "shutting down" before we could save the item. Which causes much "double work". So we would LOOOOOOVE the auto save feature you have in photoshop.

I'd suggest that you look for the cause of the crash first. It really shouldn't crash that often!
Illustrator does not have an auto save function, unfortunately. Try to get into the habit of saving regularly. For extra safety, use something like Autosavior as mentioned above. Or if you want the additional confidence of using something that's been reviewed by Apple then you could use:

Auto-save in Logic 8

Hey Guys
I've been trying to find an option for auto-save in Logic (and to set how often it does this)... but I can't find anything...
Does it just do auto-save in the background? Or is there no auto-save feature?
It's easy to forget to keep saving in a long session and would be nice to know Logic does it for you!!
Cheers
Mike

I'm sure that Logic will never need auto save.
the reason is: Logic have a .crash save function...
it works great... (if you don't use 3rd party plugs with false Audio Units validation Pass.
I'm a Logic user from the Notator version...
Auto save is dangerous...
the only usefull thing should a Fix with save before Crashing happen
Auto save is not "intelligent solution"
*Logic 9 should be comes with an intelligent way to save function that works ONLY WHEN AND IF NEEDED*
I'm sure that Logic 8.1 will solve the .crash issue with 3rf party plugs that are intentionally developed with only AU version bugs.
this is another of the "milion" fermusic ideas about sh*t auto save dangerous and *really obsolete* function
No Auto save... *vote for an intelligent way to automatic save function*
(vote for fermusic )
Thanks... expacially focused to Bee Jay and Erik

I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless a dealer. I do no have on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in ea

I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless you are a dealer. I do not have passwords on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in each time for security. My password for this site will only work a short WHILE, AND THEN it will not be recognized by the site and I cannot get in.
Then I must contact the company to reset or clear it manually on their end so it can be reset. They always give me the SAME SETUP PASSWORD to use. I use it, then I RESET PASSWORD on my end. The computer seems to remember my user NAME AT least on my computer as it comes up once I start typing the username in. They SAY IT is a settings issue on my end. I do not have this problem on any other site even THOSE WITH higher SECURITY. I need to FIX the issue OR may LOSE ACCESS To the site as is very aggravating for them and they say other have had the problem but usually with chrome but never constantly.I am not that computer literate ,but my husband is an IT Security professor and textbook writer but says doesn't really know Firefox. I do not really want to store passwords on computer as have been hacked several times. He and I do not understand some of the terms mentioned. since it is not a problem with other sites it should be fixable. Please me help using terms I or my husband can understand without having to give Firefox all my passwords. I would be happy to set up something different just for this one site if I need to but need easy instructions. Have cleared the cookies before but it still happens. What setting do I need to change or set to fix this? the other questions that come up seem very different and do not apply. FF 22 now but happened w other FF versions.

I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

How do I auto save all newly created contacts to a pre-determined group in Maverick? Could do this on iTunes, can't do it on iCloud...

Hi,
Before upgrading to Maverick, I used to sync all my contacts via iTunes.
iTunes used to have an option to "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to: (drop-down)".
I had created a group called ' RECENTLY ADDED ', so that every time I saved a new number whilst meeting people / networking, etc, it would auto-save to that group. I would then sync via iTunes, and voila- all my new contacts would be in there.
As a marketer, I allocate my contacts into various complicated groups... so from there, I would proceed to move each contact into their relevant group, and then 'delete' from group (not delete completely). I would repeat this step until all contacts were moved out, leaving an empty 'recently added' group.
The next time i was out networking/saving new numbers, the process would repeat...
Now that I have upraded to Maverick and using iCloud syncing, I cannot find this feature.
The previous method I used worked brilliantly, and I do not always have time to add notes, etc (for a smart group) when saving new numbers.
I'm struggling to find a solution now that I'm using the iCloud syncing service...
Any suggestions to make it easy??

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

CS6 Auto-Save: 1 step forward, 1 step back

I have done a little testing with the auto-save, and there is some progress with CS6 - especially in the area where earlier versions would stop playback or scrubbing to fire off an auto-save.
It looks like the auto-save does not stop playback or scrubbing on the timeline anymore. It will stop you from other operations such as moving an audio slider or other non-critical mouse clicks. I tested with 1 minute intervals, and it appears that it won't auto-save during playback or scrubbing in the background, and will wait until the next interval after playback has stopped until it saves. (Instead of taking the very next possible moment after playback has stopped to makeup for the save) This seems like it could create the possibility that if you are playing back or scrubbing during multiple interval moments, you could have a long period where there are no auto-saves - especially if you set the interval to a high number. Like I said, I only tested with a 1 minute interval, so maybe this functions differently if you save every 10 or 20 minutes. Maybe then it will do an auto-save right after playback has stopped if it has been awhile.
The step back is that if you hide PPro, (I'm on a Mac, btw) instead of just bouncing the dock icon during an auto-save like previous versions, it will actually bring PPro to the front and block out/cancel anything else you are doing on your machine. How annoying! I can't figure out the reason to have it function like this. If it is simply hidden behind other windows, it does not do this, instead only brings to the front the small auto-save progress bar - It only happens if you hide the appplication. For example, if you are moving back and forth between PPro and AE, you could be working away on a comp in AE and suddenly PPro jumps to the foreground to let you know it did an auto-save. Since I have 2 monitors, I like to hide apps that I'm not working in to hide pallettes and other windows so I can have my desktop back. Seems like the solution for now is to not hide PPro ever and to do a proper save more often to avoid the issue of potential long periods of no auto-saves. (And submit a bug report?)
Anyways, long post for a potential trivial thing, but for those who care about this, it is a change. Anyone else experiencing this?

Jim,
Exactly, and that is what the "1 step forward" is with CS6. It drove me crazy when Auto-Save would interrupt playback. I was suggesting that it would be a better option that if you are playing back during an auto-save interval, it should take the very next opportunity to fire off a save, like maybe after hitting stop when there is a moment of downtime. However - in my testing - it looks like it skips that interval completely and waits for the next one. So, if you have it set to save every 10 minutes, but are playing back your timeline during each of those 10 minute intervals, it will never auto-save even if there are large stretches of time in between when you are doing nothing. It seems like it could be more intellegent about when it saves, and do it quieter in the background.

Auto-Save Option pleaseee
