Recently I have installed H17 on my workstation. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get Autosave to be on by default. I've tried the 123.cmd, 123.py, 456 ect… Nothing will turn my autosave on by default. Over the past 2 days I've lost around 8 hours of work because of this issue.

As advanced as houdini is I find it completely insane that I have to jump through so many hoops to get Autosave on by default. Please SideFX streamline this very simple and fundamental process.

I finally got it working. Even though windows was showing 123.py it was actually 123.py.txt. Still, please SideFX add a AutoSave on by Default option..
