Auto-save! Please!

Please incorporate and incremental save or auto-save function in Toon Boom Studio… when I’m on a roll time flies and I don’t realize so much time has passed.


I want it in Animate! ;D ;D ;D

seriously this needs to be added!!! i currently have an egg timer on my desk to make sure i save every 20 mins!

That is an interesting solution. I try to save but don’t always, however once I had a powercut and Animate restored the scene which was great.

But being art is easy to spend a couple of hours and think you have only been there 5 minutes.

It’s got my vote, if it’s set at the “Project” level, can be saved with the project, and can be switched off.

When I first started I lost a lot of work, several times, especially when coloring with big gaps. My crazy workaround was to make a CD/DVD with me saying “Save Now” every 10 minutes. It also said “Play Again” at the end. Then I upgraded my graphics card and I can’t remember losing any work since.

It would be a nice feature. I’ve trained my left hand to hit “Ctrl+S” every few minutes as I work, until it became second nature. Its a habit that has saved me a lot of grief, but I still occasionally get distracted and lose things in a crash.

Yes, I was talking about Studio - but I can see that I’m not alone. ;D

You can always try an app that automatically saves at regular intervals. Here are two, they are both freeware.

Thanks for the links Zeb.

Just to clarify, you want this in Toon Boom Studio? This is the Animate family forum, but I can redirect your request to Studio.
