Incremental Auto-Save makes Blender's autosaves more configurable and reliable.
Features:
- Incremental auto-save: Automatically save in configurable time intervals, without each autosave overwriting the previous one.
- Customizable configuration: Set the maximum number of saves per file and the interval between saves according to your preferences.
- Autosave on file switch: Automatically save the current file when opening another, ensuring your progress is always backed up.
- Autosave for unsaved files: Automatically save files that have not been saved before, giving them the name "Unnamed.blend".
- Support multiple computers: Specify a list of file paths, where the first valid one will be used for saving backups. Useful when you share your user preferences across multiple computers.
- Save next to .blend: Instead of a global auto-save directory, your autosaves can go to an "Autosave" folder next to your .blend.
- Invalid path fallback: If none of the given paths are valid, create backups next to the current .blend, or the OS temp folder.
- Save modified images: For texture painting workflows, this will auto-save your images as well as the .blend file.
- Save Mesh/Sculpt: If you spend a long time in Edit/Sculpt mode and Blender crashes, you will lose your work, because the mesh data is not written back into the object until you go to Object Mode. The add-on will periodically enter object mode for you, without interrupting any Sculpt/Paint/Transform operations.
It goes without saying that this add-on can introduce periodic lag. This is simply the price of saving data to a disk. A slow disk or a large file will exacerbate this, and all you can do is adjust your save interval according to what you can put up with.
