Re: No more autosave

I haven't upgraded yet, but perhaps someone (indeed, even Martin) can answer - my issue is not with autosave as such, but the fact that there is no initial prompt - which means that apart from anything else all my documents are called "Untitled (n)", where "n" was edging up into ...

Re: Saving documents

And, indeed, the files that are open in the application after the relaunch of the update. Not the ones that were open before the upgrade, but at least a week older. Now I have to remember what I was doing... :-)

Re: Saving documents

Interesting how items in the "Open recent" sub-menu are several iterations old after the upgrade. Or is this just me again...?

Re: Saving documents

It was the zip that I used - I've now tried the update in "Check for Updates" and it works fine.

Thanks!

Re: Saving documents

I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago, probably the worst decision of my life (although there was an incident in 1982 which comes close, but I won't go into it here). Anyway, it took me about a week full time to downgrade back to 10.7.5 (I'd done a new full back up wth Mavericks and all my 10.7.5...

Re: Saving documents

I spoke too soon in any case, yesterday I ended up with three copies of a file on the desktop and when I thought I'd saved and then closed it, two of them disappeared. At least I still had one... I'm using 10.7.5. Should I downgrade NWP?

Re: Saving documents

Thank you, I think this has done it - removed the "keep without asking" option. Everything's back to normal.

Re: Saving documents

Back again. I still find it curious that a saved file should disappear. I just did it again. I opened a file - actually a .dot file and so I had an untitled document. I made changes (it's a letterhead, and I've moved), saved the file on the desktop as "new letterhead" (and it appeared on t...

Re: Saving documents

Hi Martin, Thanks for that, I can deal with it now I know how, but it seemed to me particularly curious that I could go through what appeared to be a process of saving, and see the file on my desktop, and then have it disappear (not even in the trash) when I closed the file (clicking "delete&qu...

Re: Saving documents

Thanks for the explanation, as long as I know...! Although I see in the saving preferences I can't select another folder for autosave - Document Manager is the only local choice, all the others appear to be in a dark room in Palo Alto.

Re: Saving documents

Ok, I see what's happening, despite documents bing saved where I think I have saved them, they are going into user/Documents/Nisus Documents. So they are not completely lost. But why the change, and why does the document I save on the Desktop (or anywhere else) completely vaporize? Please can we go ...

Saving documents

Why has the saving new file process changed? This is what happens to me: 1. Create a new document ("untitled") and add text. 2. CMD-S makes the file menu flash, so the assumption is that it saves, but I know not where. There is no prompt, presumably it is being called "untitled" ...

Re: Future viability of Nisus

Let's not forget either that Apple has a good track record of discontinuing software and walking away, leaving people (such as me) with files they can no longer open (Claris Works, Apple Works, iWeb, etc.). I'll stick with Nisus, thanks.

embedded text

A long, long time ago (I can still remember...) I used a facility in NWE to embed text. This is at least 10 years ago, probably more. It was quite cool, I recall, because I could write an article and just link in big chunks from another NWE document rather than either cut and pasting or retyping, an...
