user_conf.py define the defaults only for a new sage notebook install. That's why the above snipped of code works and stays working. I would be very happy with upping the default to 1 hour for save_interval. Having a smaller interval is *only* an advantage if a user's notebook server process crashes or is killed by a power outage or something -- which doesn't happen that much. Even then, individual worksheet data wouldn't be lost. -- William > > Sage 3.3 or later should not keep any snapshots around if the > worksheet is unchanged.
