Options for Saving Documents
The
Application Settings page of the
Options dialog box contains two options that affect when and how documents are saved in Stylus Studio. You can choose to have Stylus Studio
- Save modified documents every few minutes. This option is off by default, and has a default setting of 10 minutes.
- Create a backup copy of a document when it is saved.
More About Backup Files
Backup copies are created with a *
.bak extension appended to the original document name when saved to the Stylus Studio file system. For example, the backup copy of
books.xml would be
books.xml.bak. If you are saving to an external file system (such as Sleepycat Software's Berkeley DB XML), the file system manages the backup file name.
Backup files are written to the same file system as the original document. They are not displayed in the
Project window, and they appear in the
File Explorer window only if you change the filter to display *
.bak files.
Opening a Backup File
You can open a backup file
- From the
File Explorer window, by double-clicking the file name or selecting
Open or
Open With from the file's shortcut menu, for example
- From the
Project window, by selecting the file and then selecting either
-
Open Latest Backup from the file's shortcut menu (right-click to display), or
-
Project > Open Document's Latest Backup from the Stylus Studio menu
