[Declined] Automatic Save script for Chrime

Post by drive4fun2me
Does anyone know of an automatic save script for Chrome that will save after a certain number of changes. I believe that there may be one for Safari but have not been able to find one for Chrome.

I really liked this feature of the WazeBar in Safari.

That sort of thing could be disastrous. I frequently see a serious error that I"ve made and have to Undo several steps. Just last night, I almost deleted several segments of freeway, thinking I had just hit "D" to get rid of some junction nodes. Fortunately, I noticed before I hit "Save".

That's technically possible (tested while developping scripts). But I agree with other answers, I don't want to see such a feature in production, as it can very damage the map. Undo is not possible once save is done...
Agreed. Don't do that please!

Agreed! Perhaps a popup reminder to save after X number of saves, but definitely not an auto save.
