Crash backup or auto-save option

Post by connectthefranky »

Does anyone know why is there no crash backup or auto-save option? I think there was crash backup in one of previous versions of Mixcraft.
It happend multiple times that Mixcraft has crashed and there is no way to recover work done (at least I don't know how...).
It's so frustrating :evil: How hard is it to have an auto-save option that saves the changes in fixed time intervals. Or to have a temporary copy of the project created to auto-save unsaved changes, so in case of a crash you can recover your work.

Hi,

If you look in the project folder on your hard drive, there should be a backup folder inside that contains backups to your project.

Under File > Preferences > Project there is a checkbox to activate "Create Backup File Whenever Project Is Saved"

Hi,

Thanks for the feature suggestion!

If you're crashing a lot, we should figure out why that's happening. If you haven't tried Mixcraft 10 yet, give that a try.

Hi,

Mixcraft 10.5 has an auto-save feature in Project preferences!
