Thanks for the feedback so far. Looking at the above comment, I want
to
stress, that there might be a bit of confusion what we are talking
about here.
There is for one the automatic backup procedure to keep the last n
versions of
the file in the same directory as in
thb.kmy
thb.kmy.1~
thb.kmy.2~
...
where the number of those files can be controlled via the settings
dialog.
That is *not* what I am talking about. I am happy to have that
feature.
The other feature - and that is what I want to get rid of - is what
you can
access via 'File/Backup...'. It opens a dialog and allows to mount an
external
device such as a floppy (or nowadays USB stick) and to physically
copy the
current file to that device.
This is what I use, but I don't mount anything, I just save to another
directory.
I think the mounting operation is what causes the trouble on MS
Windows.
If this is a real problem (see the other response from Cristian) would
it be reasonable to require the device to be mounted first, and not
part of the backup dialog itself?
p.s. I intended to ask on the user list in a second round as well.
Maybe even
on the forum but wanted to get the developers opinion first.
