[SOLVED] How To: Suspend AutoSave by script

[CVH]

Andrew,

Is there a way to suspend AutoSave by script?

Tried to follow the AutoSave.js script ... had to include it

Code: Select all

include("scripts/File/AutoSave/AutoSave.js")

Still the methods report 'undefined'

Regards,
CVH

You can control this through a global application wide property:

Code: Select all

var appWin = EAction.getMainWindow();
appWin.setProperty("DisableAutoSave", true);

appWin.setProperty("DisableAutoSave", false);

Thanks, Andrew.

Now implemented in the 'Create New subLayers from Hatches' proposition ...
And working!

Stumble on it while testing ... and it was reported by someone else too.
When a drawing is hard to render ...
or when a script runs slow on such a drawing ...
and AutoSave is set and to frequent short intervals ...
QCAD is spending even more time in auto saving the drawing over and over again.
