You can safely close and re-open your original by choosing not to save.

If I've worked on somehting for half an hour then get a phone call and return to discover Scribus has crashed (or a power cut or whatever) at least I know I can restore to the last few minutes... As scribus becomes more stable I'd hope to reduce the autosave time to say 20mins then 30mins... Meaning I could get 27mins work done in half an hour instead of the current 21mins while I wait for autosave > Cedric > > > _______________________________________________ > Scribus mailing list > Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de > http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus > > -- > This email has been verified as Virus free > Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net
