From Ed’s posting on a Domino 7 feature (updated)
Tags :Domino 7
Perusing the blogs as usual I see Ed got
a screenshot from Ted Stanton
(hey Ted do you have a blog inside IBM somewhere?) about a new Domino 7
client feature that I will say already exists in the server code. When
you work a long time on a server document, for example, then attempt to
Save & Close, you get that nasty error that a copy was already saved.
To me that sounds like auto-save without the inherent ability to
clean the old one up when saving the new and giving a conflict. Then
you have to go and find the junk and try and merge them. I now have
a golden rule. When changing tabs anywhere while working in server
or configuration documents, hit Ctrl-S every time you switch. No
more conflicts!!!
But here is my questions:
- Where the heck will all these saves be?
- A ton of .tmp files in my local data directory?
- Somewhere on the C drive? Anyone? Someone?
- What happens if I crash? Do they stay for recovery and Notes can map to them later?
- Will there be an import mechanism or something that uses unique doc id's in the autosave on edits?
An update of information:
- Designers now have the ability to specify that a form support AutoSave - documents created with that form will be saved out locally based on a user specified time, so that they will be available after a system failure/crash. Users will also have the option to save out documents to the local store in the event the server they were working on goes down.
