Ouch. OK, that gives me an idea--add another option to wait until Gnucash is idle n minutes before auto-saving. That way, Gnucash will auto-save while you're making coffee, for example. For me, saving takes about four seconds. It's not enough to cause hardship, but it would be a pain while I was actively entering transactions. So, I might imagine a configuration like "(every 5 minutes or 10 transactions) and 1 minute idle". That said, I would take auto-save over original file over no auto-save at all. But it sounds like it would still be a good idea to keep an alternate implementation in the queue. Huge kudos, as always, to the Gnucash team for keeping us Windows free.
