Auto-Saver v1.0

This is my version of an auto save for sfm. took about a day n half to finish.

This script is in beta so report any issues



FAQ
this script automatically saves the current session

its located in the drop down menu in scripts on the menubar.

select the time interval between each save( ranges 1-10 min) then select how many save files do you want to keep.
this will loop the number of files you pick and overwrite the old ones for ex: session_1.dmx session_2.dmx etc..

yes a few things

1. once you click start you can close the script window and it will keep working, until you close sfm but if you open it again or use my other scripts, the loop will stop. then you need to click start again
   
2. if you use start up option note: that sfm needs to to restart to take change and the script will start one min after sfm started up and the main window gets focused.
   depending on your specs , if it takes you longer than a min to load a session and the script doesnt start the loop, then you might need to increase the start delay.
   how?: go to platform\scripts\sfm\ and usermod\scripts\sfm\ and edit file sfm_init.py find the line saveTimer.start(60000) and change the number,(1 min=60,000)
   
3. once started the script saves any session used meaning if you open or change to a new session it will keep working and autosave the new current session
   
4. the file name for the saved session is from the movie name in the element viewer not the file itself.
   you could change the name during the loop and the new save file name will be updated
   where to find: open element viewer --> click the home icon --> expand active clip--> name
   
5. when you go to file-->save, it saves it as the last autosave file, you should do save-as with original save file

"usermod\elements\sessions\autosaves\"
