Bug reports

Hi there first post.

Cheers  
Mike

Ah sorry I’m afraid it’s lost.

There’s an issue with the “save image” option, it will be fixed on the next release (“save to files” is working fine though).

Auto save only occurs when you switch the app to background or quit the app.  
But even then you should save regularly because there is not guarantee the auto save will succeed (iOS impose a time limitation for this task).

I’ll probably remove the autosave so that it is less confusing.

Instead I’ll add a popup that shows regularly that asks if you want to overwrite your current project.
