Description
With Tupi open, while doing anything with it at the time, it will automatically open a Save Project As dialog every two minutes. It interrupts other programs and assumes top priority, so I have to close it every two minutes and not just leave Tupi running in the background.
#2
About this bug, there is a parameter to control this behavior from the config file: /home/user/.tupi/tupi.cfg
Go to the line #9:
<AutoSave value="2"/>
Set the value to 0, save the config file and restart Tupi, then, the AutoSave option will be disabled.
This option was added because the project is still unstable and nobody wants to lose his work. On the other hand, if you save the project at the first time, the dialog stops popping up.
In the future, this parameter will be available from the preferences dialog, so users could decide whether they want to enable this feature or not.
#3
Personally I find it aggravating and would recommend removing the feature, nomatter how unstable the app is. Those who are testing it know they testing it and don't need an annoying safety feature. If they need a safety feature, it should be automatic temp saves every five minutes that, if the app crashes, you can recall that recent version.
#4
Definitely I have to enhance this feature. I hope to work on it soon to make it more subtle.
Any way, I strongly believe that the feature mustn't be removed but modified.
#6
I'll suggest, that whenever you create a project, you are asked to select a location for this project. You choose a location and press "OK". The project file is saved at the chosen location, and the problem is solved.
