Since our flamey thread got deleted, I have to open a new one... :P
If you want to avoid autosave problems, you have to introduce a new variable, something like "autosavechanged". If MPT creates an autosave, this variable has to be set to false. If the pattern data gets changed, not only the "changed" flag has to be reset but also this new variable. And if MPT tries to autosave again, it has to check if "autosavechanged" is still set to false. In this case, it would not create another autosave.
Just my 2 cents...

Good that it's reopened - it nevertheless seemed to be a valid bug report. Unfortunately the description of the problem was lost with the old thread. The problem was, if I remember correctly, that more autosavefiles were created than specified in the autosave settings. While there were two reports of the problem, the bug doesn't seem to occur for everyone.

i guess that this solution (introducing a new variable) should solve 33's problem and it will also reduce disk load on any system. :)

Working on a fix... :)
Closing this one as I don't really have to wait for the thread starter to confirm that it's fixed :nuts:
