Request: Save Queue Behavior Change
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:26 pm
Rather than abruptly/automatically suspending save queue when a network path becomes unavailable (either due to network computer shutting down, going into sleep mode, crashing, disconnecting an external harddrive, whatever the reason may be)... I suggest simply skipping the affected files for a couple of minutes and then retrying for the affected files. This will allow other files in the save queue to automatically save without any interruptions.
If the affected files cannot save to the network drive or unavailable folder after 5 retries, then UE should stop retrying leave it up to the user's discretion to manually save those files once the network drive becomes available. Or better yet, when the network drive becomes available, UE should automatically become aware of it and attempt to save the files.
To put it bluntly, I believe the save queue should never automatically suspend itself for any reason and should only temporarly suspend saving on a file basis, not a global basis.
