Auto Save

Hi,

I periodically encounter the very annoying phenomenon that the Auto Save pop-up window is taking the screen focus as I'm typing, and some letters or even words are lost if the operation takes longer (large file). I think, Auto Save should take place silently in the background, just like in other apps (eg. MS Office). 

Then the cursor returns to the target sergment where I was, so I don't have the problem mentioned by someone before (cursor placed elsewhere).

Thanks for any ideas (or fixing this in an upcoming update).

  • I know this is an old question, but I am also experiencing this problem. I am translating a very large file with 12K segments, using Studio 19 SR2, Win 10 (64 bit), Intel code i5 2.5 GHz, 8G Ram. The Auto-save dialog runs for a number of seconds, long enough to make me wait, while it is taking away focus and hiding the segment I was working in. Each time, there is a small amount of mental and typing recovery afterwards. As other colleagues mentioned, the save should take place in the background, and there should be no need for the dialog. There is already a progress bar in the status bar, although it is not essential, but it doesn't do any harm. The pop-up does.
