does V4MD back itself up?

[Andrew Sinning]

ah, thanks.

In the docs it states for the description of CloseDatabase(
gMyDataBase ):

  "Closes the database. Before Close() do Flush() if it needs."


Where you say "do Flush() if it needs", do you mean "does" Flush if
needed, or do you mean that the programmer should "do Flush() if
needed"?


How often should one flush()?  Is there a way to check the amount of
memory being used up to know if it's time to flush()?  Will V4MD
periodically flush itself?

NO.

You get the latest state after flush()

I assume you have made very small changes, so they fit into Valentina
cache.
And you have not made Flush()

Add flush to you code
