Hi Travis, thanks for the suggestions! In addition to Marcus’ tip, here’s some more info that should help you in the short term;

- When opening a project from the network drive, a temporary copy of the project is created on your local drive. This is most likely why the project is taking some time to open so we’d recommend copying and opening the project from your local drive. This would most likely improve the speed of opening projects. You could then copy it to your network drive once you've finished your work for the day to ensure it is backed up.

- You mentioned you're experiencing issues working with video files after converting one of your drives. If you'd like us to look into this further for you just send an email to our support team (support@qsrinternational.com) and they’ll look into it for you.

I hope this helps! – Zoe :)

Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions Travis. We&#...

Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions Travis. We'll consider these for future NVivo development.

However re: point 5 - the auto-save time can be changed in NVivo 9 via File > Options > Notifications.
