Autosave for standalone?

Open unfa opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I wonder if it'd make sense to make standalone Zyn save an XMZ file somewhere every couple of minutes to allow data recovery in case of a crash. Bonus points if it could ask to recover autosave file on startup when it finds one, and for keeping these files PID-specific to avoid collisions when running more than one instance.

this is already done, though the zyn-fusion interface doesn't have a popup dialog implemented to reload the old autosave.

See $HOME/.local/zynaddsubfx-$PID-autosave.xmz and the --auto-save command line option for more details.

Fantastic! This will come in very handy next time I crash Zyn-Fusion! A GUI setting and auto-recovery dialog would be great for it too, as most people will probably not even know they have a backup copy (I didn't).
