AutoSaveScripts
# AutoSaveScripts (see GitHub readme for better formatting)
Matlab function to periodically save modified scripts (including unsaved `Untitled` scripts) to a backup directory (organized by date and Matlab instance).
Typical use case is to call this function from startup.m such that this runs in the background.
## Need
Matlab may close before there is an opportunity to save modified functions/scripts (e.g. `Untitled` scripts), e.g. OS restart or Matlab crash.
This script will check and back up all unsaved files/scripts in the Matlab editor, to prevent data loss in case Matlab closing before the opportunity to save. That said, the script's main purpose is to handle backing up unsaved `Untitled` scripts because Matlab does not currently save or back up these scripts.
## Code header
Backup unsaved scripts (including unsaved `Untitled` scripts) to a backup directory every `autoSaveRefresh_sec`.
Backup instance folders are created and auto-incremented to handle multiple opened matlabs.
### Backup directory location
Example backup directory (with defaults):
Example OS path: `userpath`/backup/2020-12-26/MatlabInstance3/
Example path using param names: `backupDir`/`backupSubDirFormat`/`backupInstanceDir` `number`/
### Params / Debug
Params:
- `autoSaveRefresh_sec` [default `500`] Refresh time in seconds.
- `backupOnlyUntitled` [default `false`] If true, _only_ unsaved `Untitled` scripts are backed up. Otherwise, all unsaved files are backed up.
Debug flags:
- `debug.stopOnError` [default `false`] Stop (rethrow) if timer errors are encountered.
- `debug.keyboardOnError` [default `false`] Pause if timer errors are encountered (if true, will pause before the rethrowing the error).
- `debug.verbosePrints` [default `false`] Prints when creating the backup dir and saving backup scripts, see local function `DebugPrintf`.
## Testing
Testing on MATLAB 2019b, Windows OS
- All paths should be OS agnostic.
- Uses `matlab.desktop.editor` commands to access the editor which may be MATLAB version dependent.
