the new file cache is rubbish. Explicit or constructed it does not save the file while just playbacking the scene. it's horrible.
Unfortunately, the 'Automatic' file mode is indeed not included. It is simply a 'write' or 'read' tool to make the topnet integration simpler.
While not the most ideal if you used to that workflow, as mentioned by others, I would also recommend to switch back to the previous filecache version if this is a must feature for you, or please use the file sop.
Sorry for the "Rubbish" comment, it's a bit much, eh. And it's on me because indeed i had no idea that the file sop allowed writing, i only ever used it to load geos, and in that state, as a first node, the possiblity to write is greyed out, i had never ever noticed that. One more thing i overlooked and never bothered reading the documentation over.
Thanks for pointing that out, such a simple feature that sometimes allows cooking several caches without having to send talks out. Just merging all nodes and playbacking is such a handy thing at times.
Cheers,
A.
