So if I have autosave on, it seems to write in the same folder as the saved project and all good until you try to load a project. The dialogue will show a merge delete or ignore option, and none of them work for me. It is a real rage inducing thing to see it load and then error out and not anything loads. Now to get around this I removed the saved project and put the autosave in another folder. This works. Is this a bug or am I doing something stupid.

In the browser mode there is a folder icon with a slash through it... if you tap it, you will be able to see all of the directories on the MPC. Might be worth digging through to see what actually has any content you can salvage for each project/autosave folder.

Sorry mate... my reading comprehension is low near the end of the day apparently.

I don't know if it is a bug... I didn't really get much success with autosaving or merging myself, so I disabled it and just have the habit to save as part of my workflow. I might have to try autosave again, but I recall turning it off because it would just pop off and glitch out whatever I was working on frequently.

yeah it def needs a longer option time wise, say 20 minutes and 30 minutes for the autosave function.
So far it has not interfered with anything or crashed the machine at all. just won't load if it is in same folder as the project file itself. So as it stands it seems totally broken or I am doing something wrong. I think this has happened on every project with Autosave on so far.
