Incremental Auto-Save
Improvements to Blender's Autosave.
I made this add-on for two reasons:
- Blender's autosave has let me down a number of times.
- I want to share my UserPeferences across multiple computers.
Features:
- Unlike Blender, this add-on never overwrites autosaves.
- Unlike Blender, autosaves even if the path is invalid. It will fall back to your OS temp folder.
- Unlike Blender, this add-on autosaves unsaved files (Unnamed.blend).
- Specify more than one autosave path. First valid one will be used. Handy when you share your preferences across multiple computers.
- Customizable number of stored backups and backup interval.
- (Optional) Autosave on file switch. Even if you choose "Don't Save", a backup will be saved.
- Preferences are saved to Blender's config folder, so you don't lose them when disabling the add-on.
What's New
1.1.2 May 27th, 2026
- Fix #7: Error when attempting to save during modal operators
- Code cleanup
- Confirm minimum Blender version is 3.5 (always has been, but previously it was incorrectly set at 2.90)
Omg thank you, because I was going to make one myself Because built-in blender autosave fine print be like "We can't save during edit mode, sculpt mode, nor texture paint mode"
Idk why local TEMP folder isn't the default in Native Autosave Path, but otherwise this is a simple must have addon
