Windows Live Writer - Auto Save DUH!
Apr 23rd, 2008 by MrGroove
Not very happy with Microsoft OR myself for that matter….. After working about 2 hours on a new Article last night for groovyPost.com, I got sidetracked and left the article for this morning. Unfortunately, when I got back to my notebook (Vista Enterprise…..) this morning the screen was black and completely unresponsive. Had to hold down the power button and do a full reboot (Thanks Dell/Microsoft).
The article…. yeah, it’s gone. Unfortunately in all their wisdom, Microsoft decided to ship Live Writer with the Auto Save feature DISABLED! Granted, it’s my fault for not saving the post AND it’s also my fault for not checking this setting RIGHT after I installed Live Writer BUT, let this post be a warning to everyone out there.
TURN ON THE Live Writer AUTO SAVE FEATURE!!!
1: Click Tools, Options
2: Click Preferences and Check Box to Automatically save drafts every x minutes
NOT a GROOVY morning! grrrrr……
