RE: [mylar-dev] Quick question regarding recapturing original context

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

I agree that a prompt would be too intrusive.  Note that this isn't exactly
auto-save functionality, which is always on for the task list, it's
auto-archive functionality.  We could make it as simple as a new preference
on Task List page that runs the export job with very low priority:

  [ ] Automatically archive task list data every [   ] days
      To the following path [                    ]  [Browse] 

I created a new report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=126360
