Skill script to auto save upon streamout, and upon page up throughout layout hierarchy

blankman

Hi, Haven't had the time to look into creating this via Skill myself yet, just putting feelers out to see if anything already exists. Had a look through existing posts but coud not locate.

Just wondering if there is a possibility to autosave upon streamout within Virtuoso?

Also, is it possible to setup an auto save feature to auto save upon page up through layout hierarchy? 

I am trying to minimize the amount of popups I see asking me if I want to save the cellview if layout edits have been made but not saved.

Any help very much appreciated,

Kr,

Brian.

    I just threw this together. Not especially well tested, but I think it does what you want?

Auto-save on either close/pop a window, or on stream out.
