Create auto save files, separate from the original file for recovery (optional feature )

[John Paul Anthony Dela Cruz]

Hello guys. I would like to propose a feature that would allow users to enable a separate auto save file. This will be very useful in many cases especially in crashes or even when the user accidentally overwrites the original project, making it easier save the original by using the auto save recovery file.

This feature is very useful in other softwares like blender, a 3d modelling software.

I hope cakewalk would soon have a feature similar to this in the near future. Thanks.

In addition to auto-save, set up versioning see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=0x20A26

File > Revert to select and load a previously saved version.

Thanks for the info. Does this also treat the auto save files as temporary files, where they will be automatically removed/overwritten by the program?

That's for you to decide.

Try it and see if it meets your needs.

At least you know what the software currently offers.
