autosave interval refuses to be set to 30s

[Terrence Brannon]

I would appreciate some feedback as to why this myLeoSettings.leo file located in HOME/.leo is not changing the autosave interval to 30

[vitalije]

You should insert two nodes under @settings node. In one of them change headline to @bool mod-autosave-active=True

and the headline of the other one change to @int mod-autosave-interval=30

Then save the file and close Leo. The next time you run Leo it should report in the Log pane that autosave is active and saving 30 seconds after any change.

You have put both of these settings in the body, which won't work, and also you have put this node outside of the @settings subtree. For any setting to be in effect it must be inside @settings subtree. One setting usually is one node and the type and name of the setting is determined by its headline. For simple types like bool, int, string the headline contains also value. Some other types of settings use body text or entire subtree of the node.

I am again having problems getting autosave to automatically save. This time in a new outline where I have placed the settings under the @settings node. Any help is appreciated:

# Welcome to Do-It-YourSelf Floatation Tanks (diytanks.com)

When it comes to getting in time in an isolation tank, you have a few choices:

* rent time at a commercial center
* buy a commercially available tank
* "build" your own tank

This website is devoted to those interested in "building" their own tank. I put the word "build" in quotes so that it does not scare anyone off. In some cases building a tank is no more involved than the assembly involved when you receive a commercial tank.

# A Bit of History

For a very, very long time, I wanted to create a website called "Dirt Cheap Tanks". About 5-10 years after the desire to create it, Zen Float Co broke onto the floatation tank scene with an isolation tank only costing $2,000. It was brilliantly engineered and made one question why you would buy a used Samadhi or Oasis

Well, now we know. And that should be a lesson to anyone who is thinking of buying a commercial product, even a low-cost one.

Zenfloatco was an innovator in the world of isolation tanks. The design was something the world had never seen - a tent. And then they went beyond the tent to create a one-piece tent that you could simply put down and inflate.

Well, that is the good side of things. But even so, they were a private company and they had their trade secrets. And with these demise of Zen Float Co, they closed down and did not provide any lifeline for their customer base. And then they tossed all the spare parts in a dumpster, leaving Zen Float Co tent owners high and dry.

While the Zen Float Co tent is not a DIY tank, replacing the parts and keeping your's running after the company's demise is a do-it-yourself affair. Also, unearthing the components of this tent are instructive and allow us to find related, similar items for our own ventures.

Having an isolation tank that does not heat the water during the float was a controversial topic. However, would the fact that [a $20,000 commercial tank](https://www.i-sopod.com/) uses passive heating make it OK to do so?

Tim Strudwick is the CEO of i-so-pod tanks. He operates the world's largest float center. He spent many years floating and offering floats before developing the i-so-pod. There are many advantages to passively heating the water

&lt;toc&gt;&lt;/toc&gt;
