I've had this Auto Save issue off and on for some time. While I'm trying to comp or edit, say in Melodyne, the auto save is constantly saving! I have it set to 50 changes or five minutes but it saves every two to three changes! What a royal pain in the butt! What am I doing wrong here?
 
Thanks for any suggestions, help or ideas.

I don't know if you are doing anything wrong. I just had a similar issue. I had Rapture or Dim Pro open and every time I changed a preset the project would save.  I have not noticed this before. Maybe it is a new bug?
I am going to try to reproduce it to see if it is.

Thanks for the reply.
 
I've not kept track of it but this has happened off and on for quite some time.

HI Paul.
 
I've just tried it here and it seems to be ok.
But it is only a very small project so the saving *might* be happening too quickly to even register that a save has happened.
I'll try it on a bigger project when I power up my DAW - currently on laptop.

Thanks Colin.  I don't know if it's doing it all the time or not.  I especially notice it when, for example, I'm editing in Melodyne.  I move a blob or two and then Melodyne hangs while Sonar Auto Saves.  I move a few more blobs and once again, I'm waiting on Sonar to Auto Save.  So much for my setting of "50" changes!  I made that setting years ago to solve this problem.  I can't remember if it actually did though.  I do know it's not specific to Kingston. 
 
When I get back to Sonar, I'll try and pay attention to when it's actually happening.  BTW, I'm back on JP.

Maybe change it from number of changes to number of minutes?

I guess I took it to mean, (in my case), 50 changes or 5 minutes which ever comes first.  Is that not the way you read it?

Yeah. I will look at this tomorrow when I get my DAW powered up.

I've had this problem in August and posted about it but no one responded.  (I am still quite hurt.)

Like you, I tried setting the options to save very rarely but it still seemed to save every 2 or 3 changes or every 20 or 30 seconds.  It was totally annoying, interrupted work flow repeatedly and led to some crashes. It seems resolved now.  I have no idea why.

I had the same issue on Saturday with a project, thought I was losing my mind...
I was comping together a vocal and EVERY move I made I got the little "I'm saving now" whirl.
Ran the new update today, will have to check that project out again.
