I know there's been talk about the autosave feature, and how important it is, and I agree, in the long run we should get that feature in working order.
But until/unless we can stabilize the feature, I think it should be removed entirely from the final release. There's no point having it there if it doesn't work. Even if it's disabled by default, people are going to see it in the settings and think "ooh autosave, that seems useful", enable it, and then they will wonder why LMMS hangs and crashes, possibly give up on the software and buy FL studio. So for the short term, I think it's better to not have the feature at all rather than have a feature that makes LMMS literally unusable. We've already removed other features that don't work currently (copy/paste in automations, for one). Also, I just talked to a guy on IRC who had a problem with LMMS hanging constantly, on the RC release, and it was caused by autosave. Not sure if it was still enabled by default or if he enabled it himself, but either way that's something that's likely to cause problems down the line, and alienate new users from LMMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
