You Are Autosave
Reviews with five stars
A useful extension since the Blender devs can't be bothered to make autosave work (I tried logging a bug and was told that autosave is only supposed to save under very rare circumstances).
Very simple but is so useful, For those who forget to save their projects for hours.
Using this because the real Blender autosave never seems to work. Thanks!
Great peace of mind add-on. I tend to get so into my work I forget to save and I once lost hours of work due to that. This add-on is great especially since you can set your own warning time. So every five minutes my screen goes red and I have to save. It's helped save a lot of data after crashes and such. So overall this add-on provides great peace of mind
I installed this add-on, went back to watching goofy Minecraft youtube and forgot. Looked back at blender and was like "why the heck is it red"... Then I remembered. Really funny, but I probably won't keep using it for long since I have a very excessive 2 minute autosave to /BlTemp/
Ok so this caught me and some else out we created a issue log with blender. Would be good that when the screen is read there is a warning that actually says save your work when completely red. because it took a while for it to realise it wasn't a blender issue lmao it was the worlds best troll and had me scratching my head. i was expecting a pop up with "save your work" but instead i thought that blenders viewport in 4.3 was bugging out lmao.
great addon because it forces you to save. im giving it 5 stars because it managed to put me in a whirlwind. "tips hat" well played sir........well played XD
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.
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
Great addon. I wish every editor had this addon.
Works great! Very helpful prompt and reminder. Thank you for sharing!
really bad about saving, this helps that in the most intrusive yet best way possible
Incredibly funny add-on. Installed it based on the description because "oh yeah a reminder to save would be really useful" and when I switched back to Blender after working in another program for a while I couldn't stop laughing. Wish every program had a "nag timer" setting, I'd lose less to crashes that way.
