A simpler solution is to make a small change (to activate the save icon) immediately after loading and then save the file. Once it has been saved by hand, autosaving no longer does any harm. I can't remember who discovered this but it was notified on this list, and I have never lost images since I

Hi :) If it's been working for you then it obviously does work quite comprehensively.  I don't remember it from this list but there is tons of stuff that i miss or don't remember.  That does sound like a much better answer too.  Regards from Tom :)  From:

Tom, That is easy to say and I do agree about backing up regularly, but when I am deep into work, I sometimes lose track of time and it is difficult for me to regularly come out of that and save. In fact, this crash happened when I saved! I agree that sometimes it is irritating to wait

Hi :) Fwiw my thought would be OLE but keep a copy of the original youself and if possible find somewhere useful to upload the file to so that editors can find it again if something does go wrong.  Would it be a good idea for someone to set-up a wiki-page (or few) to put all the screenshots

Tom, Those are all good ideas. We are back to backups again. I was wondering about the screenshots myself. The other day, I had the opportunity to look at the old Getting Started guide and noticed the Base screenshots there just seemed nicer than the ones in the Base Guide I am working on.
