Automatically save program after run

PC-DMIS has an option to automatically save a program between the operator pressing the "play" button and the start of the run.  Why does this feature (which I've never found useful but hey, it doesn't hurt) exist but not one that automatically saves at the *end* of the run?  You know, *after* generating all the valuable data?

I can't be the only person on the planet where PC-DMIS sometimes crashes after an overnight run.  This just happened (again) last night and a 5h 49m lights-out run was wiped out!  It crashed so hard it doesn't even know it crashed; no error report was generated!

If you can't fix the problem can you at least make a workaround?
