Under options/general/saving I’ve set autosave to 300 seconds.
however if I make a change then close the project and re-open, the change I made has been saved.
Is scrivener doing a ‘save-on-close’ operation, or is it ignoring my manually-set auto-save period?
Personally I’d prefer not to have a ‘save-on-close’ feature, then if I make a huge mistake I can abandon it by simply closing my document without saving, feeling confident that at least all my work upto the last auto-save has been secured.
yes, I know about snapshots and backups, but snapshots depend on the idea that I’m in a planned edit phase, and restoring a backup incurs the loss of my whole session.
eg: You decide you want to insert a few paras in the middle of a chapter you’ve just typed in the current session, but you don’t notice that you’re in in ‘Overwrite’ mode instead of ‘Insert’ mode. Okay, you can use UNDO, but it’s a LOT of undo’s to do… one for each character you typed while in Overwrite.
Or am I just being ‘picky’?
