DP 9 not loading autosave files
Apologies if this information is already available-- I searched by a few terms and didn't find reference to this.
My problem is that DP 9 won't load my autosaved files. The process is as follows:
1)I try to open autosaved file (either it gives me option of more recent autosave or I double click on file from autosave folder of I drag autosaved file to DP icon)
2)It asks me to "save as"
3)whether I change name or not, after selecting to save it, I'm redirected to the DP opening window menu.
I don't crash much so I don't really know when this started happening. It's fairly annoying though even if I'm just losing ten minutes of work now and then.
Thanks for any info.

Re: DP 9 not loading autosave files
Not at the computer right now, but there's a setting within DP that allows you to select what DP does upon launch.
You may have accidentally opted for the "opening window".
Probably under the DP preferences menu.

Re: DP 9 not loading autosave files
o/t a bit but I never trust auto saves. Cmd-s is a pretty easy thing to remember to do every few minutes and before any major edit or application of a plugin, etc. It's second nature and with redundant TimeMachine backups I've yet to lose a single project nor been unable to restore an errant file.
In some apps (especially Finale) auto-save can interrupt a process. I worry (even in DP) that it might want to auto save, thinking it's a good time, and there'll be a crash or a power issue, hard drive something or another, and the file can easily be damaged.

I'm with you MLC
Actually I should disable auto save, as I 'm always saving - especially on MIDI edits .
It just those few times, where edits are done, then I go get a cold one or something and DP auto saves. So next time around...the dialogue comes up.
