Re: Save Settings Every X Minutes

Autosave settings after this many minutes

Tick it to automatically save all settings after X minutes (allowed values are 1-9999), measured from the last time all settings were saved (whether automatically or manually).

Note that Autosave will not happen just by itself but is triggered by the following user actions if the specified number of minutes has passed in this moment:

· Changing location (you browse to some new folder).

· Tagging an item.

· OK-ing the Configuration dialog.
And I agree, as my Repro Step #2 says "2. Choose a tab and navigate around a few folders." This should meets the manual's trigger of "changing location".

However, I maintain the auto save is not saving this.

I notice the AHK tool triggers a blue/green status bar of "Settings saved: Xyplorer-2015.ini, catalog.dat, udc.dat, ks.dat, fvs.dat, tag.dat" - which I never see from using the Autosave setting by itself. (Only if I actually click the Save button on my toolbar).
Long time Xyplorer user, since October 2000 when it was TrackerV3. That makes this the 15th year :D
