[wp-hackers] Autosave API for custom post types?

[TV productions]

Andrew,

I believe it does so, but it doesn't submit the whole post form.

This is the post data that a typical autosave request has (after the 
title has changed)
==================================
action          autosave
autosave        true
autosavenonce   ebb79c8859
catslist
comment_status  open
content
excerpt
ping_status     open
post_author     1
post_id	        2996
post_name	a
post_title      Ab
post_type       easy-photo-album
==================================
I hope my problem is a bit more clear now.
