• Description:

  Quietly saves a solution with an automatically-generated name that conforms to the name scheme used by the Auto Recover recipe ("AUTOBKUP__YYYY-MM-DD_Day_HH-MM-SS[__OPTIONAL-EXTRA-DESCRIPTOR]"). ; No interaction is required unless the save fails, at which point a popup dialog will alert you of the issue.

Code

-- QUICK BACKUP v1.0
-- man_the_stan

solname = os.date("AUTOBKUP__%Y-%M-%d_%a_%H-%M-%S")
tf, msg = pcall(save.SaveSolution, solname)
if not tf then
  print("Error message:", msg)
  dia = dialog.CreateDialog("Save failed")
  dia.label = dialog.AddLabel("Failed to save the solution. See output for details.")
  dia.btn = dialog.AddButton("OK", 0)
  dialog.Show(dia)
end
