Ability to turn off AutoSave

WiscoSippi — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 15:30:04 GMT

AutoSave in script editor is a nice feature. However, on large apps, say 2+ GB in-memory space, the speed of saving is very slow, at least in the SaaS client. Disabling AutoSave in a specific app would be a great feature to add. This would allow me to batch my changes without waiting on AutoSave to finish after every single character edit.

I agree, it should be possible to disable autosave. When you are doing major changes in the script you want to be able to decide when you're finished and hit Save or hit Cancel to get back to last working script version.

I seem to recall on old thread where the response said this behaviour would not be restored back to what there used to be - but no harm trying so +1.

Even on a client-managed QSEoW server the file share can struggle to keep up with constant script edits.

Best work-around:

put all code into text file

use : $(include='lib:\\...') in the app's script editor section

this fix the constant save issue with size of the app about 2.x gb

I use notepad++ with VB/VBS language setting to make it easier to group section of codes using //##Comments and tab within that comment

example of the masterscript.txt

and then each section has their own txt, the first one is the subroutine.xtxt which has some subroutines in it used by the rest.

All code editing is done via txt file, and added to the master script or submaster script it belongs to.

I dont touch the app's editor unless I need to run and pull data/reload data.. etc.

hopefully this helps.

@Manish_Kumar_ , There's none that I can think of for front end identification if an app has been saved.

Though I would suggest development should be done on a limited set of data on a 'Master' App
and using that Master app, publish all development back to the published main app. The master app can be part of your work enviroment.
