No more surprises when auto-save doesn't work! If your file hasn't been saved for a while, show a warning. Now You Are Autosave!
Two timeouts can be set:
And yes the only way to get rid of the red (themable, of course) is to actually save your file.
Hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt (Ctrl+Shift+Option on macOS) to temporarily suppress the full redness.
Thanks to 1P2D for the suggestion!
This extension does not require special permissions.
This addon is great. One suggestion though: would be good to add a feature that allows me to temporarily see through the red screen, before saving. It happened to me to have that red screen after not using Blender for a few minutes, and to forget where I was at with my model - CTRL+S completely blindly can be dangerous sometimes
Oooh that's a good idea, I'll see if I can come up with something appropriately annoying but still useful ;-)
Great addon. I wish every editor had this addon.
HAHAHA I installed this without actually reading the description just saw autosave and was like sweet. Then as I was working.....my screen started out pink.....then gradually got deeper and deeper red, was fully expecting my pc to catch on fire or something. Then i couldnt see anything.....went and saved as.....and all clear again....man talk about trolling yourself.
