Iam1of2 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am a proponent of being able to set an automatic save of my work to date on any image in process. Many people have complained about crashes and freezes during their image manipulations. This of course, can be very frustrating, in that it requires a restart all the time. I have looked for an option that would actually save all my work automatically every X minutes without success. I then have gotten into the habit of stopping work to save my work in process manually. I don't suffer problems very often, but when it happens, I am thankful, I have my backup. Would love to see this feature added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Preferences, Performance (I think), File Recovery Interval. By default it's 5 minutes (300 seconds). It has existed since at least 1.6, privacy longer. It has always worked well for me and many others, but less well for some users for reasons I'm unaware of. There was a bug in 1.8.2 that prevented it from working for any file that had been previously saved, but that was fixed in 1.8.3.
