Thanks for the suggestion guys. Eventually had a little play and I'm using two plugins together. Cf save for initial save and folder management, thanks christian. And I'm using another plugin called Mia_scene manager. Also has a model manager with it but for some reason can't Get this to work like it should. The scene manager does what I wanted though and keeps the original scene a pushes the saves into a archive folder!
Definitely a good fix for now. Thanks everyone. PS sorry I can't reme Ber off the top of my head the Dev for the second plugin.
