I can't tell you how many times I had a table coming along, then I do something that causes Cheat Engine to crash (or even my PC). I've lost a lot of work like that, and I'm the mindless sort that forgets to save his table often.

I think it would be a cool idea to have Cheat Engine save your table to a temporary file every 5-10 minutes or so. Just overwriting the old one. That way if you do lose your table, you can always find the latest temp file and recover anything that's saved there.

Photoshop does something similar as well and that's saved my butt countless times.

*shrug*

Just an idea. Figured I'd throw it out there.

CE has a saveTable(filename, protect OPTIONAL) lua function, so you could probably make a lua script with a timer that calls that function, then drop this script in your Cheat Engine 6.4\autorun directory.

Other than that, a lot of CE users are just players that can't even make a basic scan, so it'd be stupid that they auto save the tables they just download from the net. Consequently if the option were present it'd have to be off by default, but aside that why not.

Old, but should still work: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5468951#5468951
