At this moment I can't check it. So, in order to not get this crash is necessary to manually save the file before the time for the autosave happen. (first time naming a new project)
Actually I was working in a file that I have been working in for many weeks now (so it has been saved previously many times). It is not a new, blank project.
I have just done a little bit of experimenting and took a page out of oort's book and reduced the auto save time to one minute. Wings3D crashes to desktop as soon as the autosave would have initiated even with my weeks-old project file loaded.
I then reopened wings and the file again, made a small change, did a manual save of the file, and then did another small change and waited. Approximately 1 minute later wings crashed to desktop again. So manually saving does not solve the problem. It seems the autosave is crashing Wings3D regardless of what file is loaded.
I then tried opening other wings files just to see if they would behave the same and they do. My 1.5.3 is crashing whenever autosave initiates on any file, new or old.
I then reopened the file, left the autosave time at 10 minutes but unchecked the autosave functionality thinking that that would solve the problem. I then went to work thinking I was fine. I just lost 10 minutes worth of work. LOL
Next I reopened the file, open preferences and set the time to one minute but left the automatic save box checked. I then hit OK. I then went immediately back into the preferences and unchecked the automatic save box. One minute later, crash. So it seems like we still have control over the amount of time but we don't have control over whether automatic saving is on or off.
Restarting Wings3D seems to make the autosave successfully disable. If I uncheck the autosave box, click OK, close Wings3D and then restart the application, the autosave does successfully disable. Perhaps this is the way it is supposed to be? I assumed that when I change a preference setting and click the OK button that the preference would be saved?
