Autosave annoying message

Post by cleamon »

I've been getting this a lot in DP9. I bring up a project and twiddle around with it a bit checking out the new features (long enough for auto-save to occur), then quit (without saving). Then I open the project and get this:

Don't remember EVER seeing this in DP8 (and earlier). Is this new? Can I turn it off?

And I just checked, there is NOT a later version in auto-save. There is an auto-save version with the same timestamp as the project -- NOT earlier!

It's a new DP9 (non)feature. It doesn't help people like me (and most others i'd think?) that keep multiple versions of sequences in one Project folder. If you open any sequence in the Project that's older than the latest document in the AutoSave folder, regardless of that doc's name, you'll get that message.
