Disable autosaving / restore set Ableton Live 10

[fuse*]

Hi to all,

i'm looking for a way to disable the annoying pop-up on exit and when i open Ableton Live 10 (do you want save / restore last project).

I'm setting a pc for a multimedia installation and i want open my programs (included Ableton) when the machine power on, and quit without saving when the machine power off. No human interaction required (just the power button of my pc).

I have been looking for days, but I have not found any satisfactory answer

Thanks in advance.

Hi Matteo,

if you can program a little (or know someone who can), AutoIT might help.
It is a scripting language for GUI manipulation and other things.

I'm afraid that I am no big help in terms of scripting, since I only used
downloaded scripts.

What about using a demo version of Live, which has saving disabled by default?

I don’t know for sure if this would fit your needs but maybe worth a try?

I had already tried, but the problem is the activation pop-up appear at ableton start up.

Thank you! I used your advice and it works! It is very crazy that is necessary to write a windows script with a dedicated script language (what happen in Mac OS, Linux?), just to auto-open an Ableton project:?

I attach here the few AutoIT lines of code. I created a win shortcut to avoid an absolute path.

Code: Select all

; Launch Ableton
ShellExecute("Ableton.lnk", "", @WorkingDir)

Sleep(30000)
