Default quicksave

This was mostly Paul's idea, with input from several people around the office. Unzip the contents of this file into Flexsim4\libraries. When you load the library, it adds a 'Q' button next to the Reset button on the bottom. When you press this button, it makes a quicksave in userprojects. It keeps 5 quicksaves by default, but you can change this in File>Global Preferences>Environment tab. This library adds an edit field to edit how many quicksaves are desired. Quicksave1.fsm is always the most recent, then Quicksave2, etc. In Global Preferences>User Libraries tab, you can automatically open quicksave.fsl.

Is this useful? Do you like where I put it? Should it work differently? Would this be good to include in a future release? Any feedback will be appreciated.

I think that the placement of the button is handy. If you're hitting reset, its really easy to do a quicksave as well.

It ruined the graphics of your model, so I fixed it. If you downloaded it before 10:00 on 7/18/08, please redownload it.

It's not perfect yet. For example, if you compile, you'll have to execute this script:
Code:
refreshview(node("VIEW:/1/1"));
This is just because it's not part of the standard view.

Thanks Paul and Alex. It's a nice idea for modeling. For those who want to quickly save more than just the model, there's a little known hot key (F12) that will save both the view layout and the project trees. It's more work to reopen a view and project, but it has saved my bacon more than once...

I would like the idea to replace Flexsim´s current save functionality with your quicksave for the next release. So you wouldn´t need to think about what button to save with in the future.

Thans a lot for quicksave
