To display this dialog box, on the PRO tab, select Options and then click Workspace.
Use the Workspace Preferences dialog box to change workspace saving and backup behavior.
Auto Save Workspace every
If checked, enables auto saving of the current workspace at the specified time interval.
Autosaved workspaces are saved alongside the workspace, and have a filename of the form: <workspace>_autosave.wor.
Backup On Save
If checked, a backup of the current workspace will be created each time it is saved.
This is saved alongside the workspace with filename <workspace>_backup.wor.
Prompt to Save
If checked, MapInfo Pro will prompt to save the workspace when you close all tables or exit the application, if there is any unsaved edit. Prompt appears depending on the selection from the dropdown.
Automatic
MapInfo Pro will prompt to save when you close all tables or exit the application, in the following scenarios:
- If you have a workspace open with unsaved edits in it.
- If you have only tables open, not workspace, with unsaved edits in it. In this case, workspace is referred to as untitled.wor.
- If you have multiple workspaces open with unsaved edits in it. In this case, workspace is referred to as untitled.wor.
Only when I have an open workspace
MapInfo Pro will prompt to save when you close all tables or exit the application, only if you have a workspace open with unsaved edits in it.
The default behavior of MapInfo Pro is to have the Prompt to save check box selected with Automatic selection from the dropdown.
