Auto Save Extension

Is there any auto save (.sal file) sample code or extension here?

Just like every 1 hours or 30 mins blablabla…

Thanks!

Hi @Jeffreyhotel,

Great idea. Our extension API doesn’t support this sort of extension at the moment, but it’s certainly in line with something we’ve been thinking about for a while.

Could you post this on our feature request site? Logic 2 - Ideas and Feature Requests - Saleae

Also, would you mind providing a bit more background for what you’re looking for?

What would you use auto-save for? (Are you having issues with software crashes? or do you find that it’s too easy to accidentally over-write or delete recorded data?)

For small captures, we can save pretty much instantly, and the saved files are tiny. However right now large captures take a while to save, and they take up quite a bit of disk space (easily over 1 GB each). One idea I had was to just automatically save small captures, and keep the last ~10 or so small captures on disk at all times, in case you accidentally closed a tab, closed the whole app, or over-wrote a capture. However our large capture save is pretty intrusive at the moment, and I don’t think I would want to interrupt users to use it.

I would love to understand what problems you’re running into that would be improved with autosave, and learn more about what you had in mind.
