Does TP use a temp file when editing XDF's?

I was adding a ton of scalars and tables to an XDF when my PC locked up hard. I was doing something else at the time so the lockup was not related to TP. Does it by any chance write the changes to a temp file or is there any other way to recover what I was working on?

Auto save option in a future release?

Do not want.

Why? If it was an option you could turn on and off what would be the problem? It would have saved me 2 hours worth of work creating an XDF.

Sometimes there is some change that happens to an XDF without me realizing it, and if there was an autosave feature this change would always happen. I like the way it is currently, asking to save any changes when I close Tuner Pro or open an new XDF.

It's easy enough to save a modified XDF as it is, by making a single click after each change, in the tool bar. Make a change, click to save, seems pretty simple to me.

The auto save wouldn't necessarily have to modify the the current XDF. Just save it a temp file somewhere that could be recovered in case of a crash.

this is something i could live with.

i also occasionally change conversions and add tables/etc to XDFs for temporary usage and certainly wouldn't want them being saved that way.

Just seems like a whole lot more hassle than need be. :shrug:
