Saving your work

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

You can configure ikog.py to save your changes automatically as soon as you make them.  To switch on this autosave option, just enter AUTOSAVE ON or AS ON.

 

Although the autosave options ensures that your work is always saved, it will result in a lot of disk thrashing.  If you have a lot of tasks, you may prefer to manually save your work.


If you switch off the autosave option, you do run the risk of losing your changes if you close the terminal that iKog is running in.  If in doubt, leave autosave on.


To switch off the autosave, enter AUTOSAVE OFF or AS OFF.  Now when you make a change that needs changing, you will see the command prompt change from:

 

>>> 

to

!>>

 

This makes it very easy to see whether you have work that needs saving.  When you quit the program using the QUIT or Q command, the changes are automatically changed.  However, you can you can save the list at any time just by entering the SAVE or S command.  e.g to save the tasks, enter:

 

>>> SAVE
