Preferences

(Back to Analytica Reference)

The Analytica Preferences dialog is accessed by selecting Preferences... on the Edit menu.

Maintain Recovery Info

(New to Analytica 4.0)

When checked, Analytica logs all changes since the last model save to a recovery file. If Analytica is terminated unexpectedly, from a crash, power outage, etc., those changes can be recovered so that your hard work is not lost.

Even when this is checked, it is still recommended that you save often.

If a crash occurs, a recovery dialog will display the next time you start Analytica, or the next time you attempt to load the model that was being edited.

If your model contains extremely large edit tables, this feature may slow down the editing of those tables, and disk space is consumed from the change log.

Unlike the other preference settings, this setting is stored as a user setting, and is not stored with the model.
