I accidentally dragged my properties window away from its normal position. I drag it back. Roblox freezes. I wait 15 minutes. Roblox is still frozen. I raig and taskkill it.
I don't see why that would be happening unless roblox wants it to.

I now save whenever inserting something into ROBLOX, when closing a script, when I'm done grouping something, or when I'm done with a building or something like that (When making 3 part buildings).

Yeah.

That happens to me all the time. My mouse is glitchy so it'll sometimes randomly click, and if I just so happen to be over anything in the roblox studio IDE, I gotta restart.

I've actually gotten into the habit of hitting Control-S whenever I close a script window or paste anything.

I save frequently with other IDE's however, roblox takes too long to save frequently like that.

I wish you could Control-P to publish xD But, it makes you go through all of the options of what place and such as if you haven't already told it....

With Windows XP that never happens but with Windows 7 for some reason it does happen?

They could just do something like word does, which autosaves a copy somewhere and deletes it on exit. That way, if it crashes, it detects that the file is still there and gives you the option of opening it or deleting it.

Just create an AutoHotkey program that automatically presses CTRL+S every 15 seconds and you should be fine.

You could make your own auto save with plugins, all it would have to be is:

while wait(300) do
game:SaveToRoblox()
print'Saved to roblox'
end

The hilarious thing is that I remember sending a message to builderman directly long before it became a help page. I believe it was even back when he still answered his own messages. I recommended an autosave feature for the Studio, and he said it would be an excellent idea.

Over 4 years later...

... yeah.
