Any way to enable autosaving?
« on: January 12, 2026, 05:19:39 PM »
I'm trying to rate and add various songs to playlists but sometimes the program will crash and I lose all progress since I last closed it, currently I just close WACUP every now and then to save all my changes but is there a way to make it autosave everything I've done so I don't have to redo any work I've put in?

(I'm less interested in fixing the crashing issue, it's infrequent and doesn't happen when just playing songs normally)

It shouldn't be crashing at all from those actions & causing you to try to find workarounds which might be what's causing it to occur or can make it fail differently. What build type & version of wacup are you using & does wacup's crash reporter run when it's failing on you?

Ratings go into the local library db which tries to auto save out of needed once there's not been any activity or enough dirty entities are deemed to have occurred.

Library playlists should show a save button on the view or will save out when the action being done to them completes if not within the selected playlist view.

The main playlist with the undo plug-in installed should make backups when any change occurs to it.

I just can't remember if it's on the undo or autoplay prefs page or somewhere else that the timed trigger for storing any changed settings option is still on which would then do the local library save as well. But setting that too often will cause ui hangs & is more likely to trigger a crash.
