Hi Christian, Emacs auto-saves every n seconds or m keystrokes. In addition to auto-saving every 180 seconds, I'd also suggest auto-saving every 10 new or updated entries or so. That, too, should be configurable. Emacs and other programs I've seen auto-save into a separate file. I'd strongly suggest, and it would be greatly appreciated by the user community, that the hard work be done to make it so. You will end up surprising a lot of folks (not in a good way) by auto-saving over the original file. Thanks for adding this feature, by the way. It is an excellent one. I've wished I had it in the past ;-). -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
