Auto Save

Turn this option on to save a checkpoint automatically at set intervals (controlled by the Frequency option).

Frequency

The number of actions between auto-saves (when the Auto Save option is turned on).

Maximum Files

The maximum number of checkpoints to maintain on disk. After this number is reached, older checkpoints are deleted to make room for new ones.

Auto Save Checkpoints

Lists the automatically saved checkpoints. Click a checkpoint and click Retrieve to go back to the checkpointed state.

Manual Checkpoints

Lists the time and size of checkpoints you have saved. Click a checkpoint and click Retrieve to go back to the checkpointed state.

Disk Usage

The current amount of space used on disk for all checkpoint files (in megabytes).

Max

The maximum amount of space that will be used on disk for all checkpointed files.

Verify on Save

Checks the integrity of every checkpoint after it is saved. This guarantees the checkpoint files were written safely, but slows down auto save.

Clear

Deletes the selected checkpoint.

Retrieve

Loads the selected checkpoint as the current wire file.
