[fixed] Autosave and Network Storage - broozar - 04-26-2017
hi, I have noticed this ever since I started storing all my important work data on servers/NAS solutions:
Autosaving does not work. A box pops up every 10 minutes (the save interval, as defined in the settings) that the file \\SERVERNAME\some\path\#something.wings~# (something like that, file name with special characters around it) "could not be found". Since the server is online and I just opened the file from there, I assume it's because of these special characters around the temp name. I know the (linux) server does have some issues from time to time with the (windows) workstation filenames if I use certain special characters.
Request: For the next version, could you please add a box to the settings that allows us to define a custom naming scheme for temp files, or alternatively, use file names that do not use special characters, like .wingsautosave? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I don't think that the problem is related to '#' or '~' used by Wings3D for temporary and backup file names. It probably can be related to "\\SERVERNAME\some\path\".
Anyway, thanks for report. I'm going to check the autosave action over a network path and see what happens here.

I found the problem. It should be available in the next release.
By now - as a workaround - you could map the network folder as a drive.
