Can I take managed when and what RAM take to save on USB, I doubt RAM so quick fill up. Bye.

Hello 11zodiac11.

Saving to USB can be very slow. It's not a bug.

Can I take managed when and what RAM take to save on USB

You can take control over when RAM is saved.
In Menu > System > Puppy Eventmanager(*) under tab Save Session(*) you can adjust the time between savings. Set it to 0 and activate the checkbox below, asking to save on shutdown.
This disables the periodic save of RAM to Savefile.

Also, the size of your savefile may slow down savings. Keep it small - as small as possible.

I doubt RAM so quick fill up

I don't think so. Saving Session to Savefile is periodicly, not depending on RAM usage.

I did not even suspect that is a bug, just in order to fast solve this small problem I putting the question into this topic after all, So as I used more and more Puppy, opened so many windows and tabs in Browser... RAM saving be more frequently Thanks for 4 the quick answer and solution for keep use with pleasure Puppy, and enjoy, Bye bye.
