Happened to me today a couple of times, and it will happen again also to other people I know they use qgis on regular basis. A autosave tool based on a timer would be very useful indeed. For now. > Note Autosave based on a timer has been removed from things like Office > for similar reasons. not from OpenOffice :) cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
