Options - Save

The Save tab of the Options menu contains several options controlling saving of files, backup copies, and data.

Auto Save

This will automatically save the specified items to temporary files at regular intervals.

Spreadsheets	saves all spreadsheets that are currently open
Text Windows	saves all text windows that are currently open
Data from Current Session	saves all data to a temporary GSV file
Auto Save Period	specifies the time in minutes between each backup
Limit Saved Sheets To	allows you to specify a limit on the size of spreadsheets that are automatically saved. (Spreadsheets larger than this value will not be automatically saved.)

Create Backup Files on Save

If selected, whenever a file is saved from GenStat the old version will be renamed with an exclamation mark (!) as the last character of the file extension.

Save on Exit

These options control what happens when you exit from GenStat.

Save Layout

This can be used to save the size and position of the main windows, including Input log and Output Window, on exit.

Save Data

Select this item to enable automatic saving of the GenStat session in an unnamed binary file. If this file exists next time you run GenStat it will be automatically loading using RESUME.

Save Options

Save the current options in the registry.

Save Menu Settings

Save the current menu settings to a file within your Application folder. You can use this option to customize GenStat, by setting the options you require on particular menus and then saving. Next time you run GenStat these will be the default settings for the menus.

Save Session In

Save the current session (open windows and data). You can specify the name of the file to save the information in.

Prompt to Save Input Log

When files are open and have been modified, GenStat will prompt to save or discard changes when you exit. Select this option if you also want to be prompted to save the Input Log.

Prompt to Save Output

When files are open and have been modified, GenStat will prompt to save or discard changes when you exit. Select this option if you also want to be prompted to save the contents of the Output Window.

Prompt On Exit

If selected, when you exit GenStat you will be prompted to check that you really intended to exit. Otherwise, a prompt will only appear if new or modified files have not yet been saved.
