Autosave is enabled and set it to some reasonable setting.
#Fontlab studio 5 full series#
This serves as a series of auto-backups - you can always open any of the earlier versions if you’ve changed your mind about some edits. Then, whenever you manually save a file (for example YourFileName.vfc), the previously-saved version will be renamed to, where YYMMDD-hhmm is the date and time of when it was renamed.
When you close a file or quit FontLab normally, and choose to either save or not save the opened file, the autosaved file will be deleted. Instead, they are stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/FontLab/FontLab/Autosave folder on macOS and in C:\Users\USERS\AppData\Roaming\Fontlab\FontLab\Autosave on Windows. The autosaved files do not overwrite the location where you are manually saving the file. if you enter 0.1, FontLab will autosave every 6 seconds. You can set the frequency of autosaving in minutes, but you can also use fractions, e.g. When you enable the new option, Preferences > Save Fonts > Autosave opened fonts every … minutes, FontLab will automatically keep saving a backup copy of your working files as you work.
