Autosave turned off (again and again and again....)

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve noticed time and time again that Autosave doesn’t appear to be working.

Each time I start to compose a post in the forum, I check my preferences and realize that it’s turned off, so I skip the post, and turn Autosave on.

Well, here it is again, Tuesday, and Autosave isn’t working, and it’s turned off in Preferences. So I turn it on, receive the obligatory “Some preferences will not take effect…” dialog, and close down Notes. Restart the client, it’s not checked!!! Check it again - same ‘Some preferences dialog…’ shut down Notes. Restart…

Been thru the exercise 5 or 6 times. 4 of the 5 times when I restart it’s no longer checked… Even opening the preferences dialog over and over I’ll find that sometimes it’s checked, sometimes it’s not.

Notes.ini contains the following lines:

Auto_Save_Enable=1 or Auto_Save_Enable=0 ← this keeps changing as well
Auto_Save_Interval=1

AUTO_SAVE_USER,Mark A Taylor/LaGrange/North America/Dometic Group=as_MA Taylor.nsf
Auto_Save_LZ1_DefaultFixup=1

Desktop Policy is set to Initially enable:

Enable AutoSave: Enable; Set initial value; Enforce

AutoSave every N minutes: 3 minutes; Set initial value; Enforce

In my PNAB: $PrefAuto_Save_Enable = “0”

It appears from the $Revisions field that the document is being updated fairly often - multiple times yesterday, once today.

My Organizational Policy (NAB) is set to: $PrefAuto_Save_Enable = “1”

When I run Policy Synopsis - I don’t see that value listed, nor do I see any reference to AutoSave - what should I look for on Synopsis?

Thanks!

Hello Mark,

If you look at the $Policies view in your local PNAB(hit Control-shift, while clicking View->Go To), if you right click on your desktop policy and look the fields, what do you see for: $PrefAuto_Save_Enable? Or if you like, if you copy create a unecrypted copy of your pnab (with the ACL open as well) with just your policies and send it to me I’ll take a look: mskurla@us.ibm.com

If you choose not to send your pnab, please also look the the $Revisions field of the policy, that’ll tell us when (and how often) it was updated.

Regards,
Mark
