Deactivate Autosave/Versions?

Glyphs

Is there any way to deactivate autosave/versions in Glyphsapp? I want to save my files on a Helios server, but this obviously doesn’t work with MacOS autosave.

ooh … this doesn’t seem to be available at Glyphs Mini. Mmmh.

This worked for me:

  1. Start Glyphs Mini
  2. Go to Terminal and type (or copy and paste):
    defaults write $(osascript -e ‘id of application “Glyphs Mini”’) ApplePersistence -bool no
    (There’s no space between the dollar sign and the parenthesis)
  3. Restart Glyphs Mini

Any plans to turn off auto save for the mini version? I temporarily used @mekkablue’s hack, but I’m interrupted with a permissions dialog every time the app attempts to autosave…which can obviously be distracting after some time.

What permissions dialog?

Also…I’m assuming to revert back to the default auto save behavior I would simply append yes to the end like so…

defaults write $(osascript -e ‘id of application “Glyphs Mini”’) ApplePersistence -bool yes
