    so, ADD autosave, then propose it back.

    I think there is a lot of people here glad to contribute in testing, but I'ma afraid very few people like to waste time when the program crashes.

        Loriano,

        Please see my other reply to you in another thread. The crashes you are experiencing for Mathcad Prime 1.0 are due to a Microsoft issue on XP. The Read This First document in Mathcad Prime 1.0 explains how to install a hotfix to fix that issue.

        The hotfix is not an issue for Mathcad Prime 2.0.

        The point is that I see a great lack in user consideration from PTC.

        And the absence of autosave is a great signal about it, it means that the time I spend on the sheet is nothing for you.

        I can justify this in case both the SO than the software are so sure that is "impossible" to crash, but is not the case.

        In the feature list is not present, I asked about it and the answer is "the feature list is not yet final".. for you what does it means?

        I have never used autosave with any piece of software, so that hasn't really bothered me.

        I have made my thoughts quite clear on this forum about Prime 2.0, but I regularly use M15, which I am happy with. I believe Prime 2.0 will be a massive improvemnt.
