Storyline is a great piece of software, but I know there are a lot of days that I wished it had an auto-save feature. Yesterday I had been doing some audio syncing when a crash occurred and it spurred me to look for a solution.
I ran across this little program called Saver. It's a small script that basically hits "CTRL+S" every once in a while. It does have a couple of quirks, but so far, so good.
I wrote up a little how-to post on installing it and how to use it. It covers the little quirks too.
Will definitely install this one on my laptop soon (!) :)
Another tip I have found helpful for all of my development work is to use File > Save As using another filename every hour or so, (I essentially version the heck out of every project I build), so I have a fairly recent backup if my current version crashes or gets corrupted.
On a given day, I usually create 5-6+ new filename versions of the project(s) I am working on in Storyline.
Thankfully, I've never had to test it, but better safe than sorry!

Nice one Rachel, I don't know how many times this would have helped me with some of the other programs I use.
Very nice, Rachel!
