Autobackup

<< < (2/2)

RnDr FOX:
mcheccyb that is a neat idea but if you work on something for 2 hours straight you will have alot of files on the same thing and that would take up unneeded space

5L1D3R:
The incremental backup would be more useful if you could specify triggers for the backup, like major modifications or after the scene or object has changed by a certain percentage  I usually only need 2 versions of any model I am working on.  I work until I am satisfied with the overall model, then create a second file and start experimenting.  I only overwrite the original file when I reach a point where I am satisfied with the overall progress and don't need to do any major reversion.  Rarely do I need more than 2 files

mcheccyb:
i save my files manually like that, it really helps in the long run.

Steve:
What I've added is a user settable period for backing up your project (to a different file name so it doesn't clobber what you specifically saved).  I still need to test it and add detection code so Anim8or automatically know when there is a saved file. etc.

mcheccyb:
thanks steve, that will really be helpful. ;D
