Summary

  • Add configurable auto-save option that automatically saves annotations after any change
  • Uses 2-second debounce to batch rapid edits and reduce server requests
  • Add auto-save toggle to Settings views (both desktop and web-girder)
  • Save icon shows a gear (mdi-content-save-cog) when auto-save is enabled to visually indicate automated saving is active
  • Disabled by default for backward compatibility

Test plan

  • Enable auto-save in Settings > Annotation Settings
  • Make annotation changes (draw, edit, delete tracks)
  • Verify save occurs ~2 seconds after last change (save icon badge clears)
  • Verify multiple rapid edits are batched into single save
  • Verify save icon shows gear when auto-save is enabled
  • Disable auto-save and verify manual save required again
  • Verify readonly mode prevents auto-save
  • Verify navigation warning still appears if auto-save hasn't completed

The branch contains 2 commits:

  • 2189938 - add auto-save annotations feature with configurable toggle
  • 23b9c63 - add auto-save settings to Settings views and update save icon

Adds a new setting to automatically save annotation changes after a 2-second
debounce delay. The feature batches rapid edits to reduce server requests and
respects readonly mode. Disabled by default for backward compatibility.
