If the inactivity autosave works for people, that's fine but it doesn't work for me, and I don't want other users to get blindsided by In my original post: just said that I did press 'CTRL+S' to attempt to save my file (And again, I tried to save the file MANUALLY to the location I have it stored at multiple times!) And does the situation I JUST described in this post was a situation where I DID attempt to save the file normally but it didn't. Again, autosave should give peace of mind for artists, and the inactivity basis of this autosave does the complete opposite. This style of autosaving is not efficient or good for artists, and counterintuitive. I tried checking the autosave cache, but nothing.Īnd before anyone tells me that I shouldn't have been testing mypaint to use this file: again, it was a stable release. I thought it would be fine because I have autosave turned on.Įxcept that I checked my preferences, when I tried to re-open the file, and because the autosave is based on inactivity rather than just as set quantity of time, I lost all my progress because I was working on the file non-stop. (probably because my file was saving to Google Drive and couldn't sync yet, so this part isn't the MyPaint bug.) Turns out that the error was that the file wouldn't save. I was in the middle of working on an important file, and when I tried to save it, MyPaint had an error.
