Save and Save to backup

[Nils N]

I’ve noticed lately that when I open an existing file that it opens in the T/C plane ‘name’ (name = usually a custom plane) I saved it in but the Gview is BL VIEW PLANE (not saved) To test it I just saved a file made sure the T/C Plane and GView Plane were the same and closed it. Reopened and I got the correct T/C Plane but the GVIEW was Bk View again. If I’m not mistaken it should be opening in the Gview I saved it in. Anyone else see this. Another thing I don’t see my project until I select “fit”

 

On another note; I have Autosave off, and have backup directed to a separate file I use for back up. I’ve notice for some time now, that when I save I have to save it twice in order for it to show up in my backup file. I also did a search on this but didn’t come up with any thing.

As far the backup issue goes, you have it correct. In my mind, a true backup feature would save a copy where you are currently working from AND save another exact copy in your specified location. The MC backup doesn't work this way. It takes the last saved file and puts a copy of it in your specified folder, which is actually, one save behind. There is a potential to lose a substantial amount of work the way it works. That's why I always click save twice repeatedly.

 

If you search for my member number and backup, you'll probably find a few different topics where I've posted on this.

Pretty much the same info that I just said.

Thad, Yep, I always save twice and I guess missed the post you said that in the other issue is the one that's 'bugging' me now

I can't help you on the other one, bro. My files open in the graphics view that I saved them in (including the saved Zoom level), but I'm still using X2.

I thought I was probably the only one neurotic enough to hit the save button repeatedly. Good to see I have company.

 

I think it should work like Thad said. Not sure how hard that would be to set up?

That's odd, I'm having the exact same problem!

I always wondered why I lost some after save, thought it was just me.good info to know, save twice or more.
