Re: Render Region and Autosave

[Jason S]

ooor... you could install RRays widget as prescribed,  http://traypen.com/rr/bak/rray/SaveRemind.xsiaddon the dialog not only reminds but also has a save button on it. but if you want, you can super easily edit it to make it not ask you,  and replace the 'Save' with a 'SaveBackupScene', Then you can make the Q key invoke the region command .. and reset the timer.     function saveRemindOnEndSceneSave_OnEvent( in_ctxt )     {         var t = Application.EventInfos( "saveRemindOnTimerEvent" );         t.Reset( 600000, 1800000 );         return false;     } which resets it for another 30 mins which should be enough time for your region to finish Hope that can work, J On 02/10/16 14:48, Jason S wrote: There is a command (as well as default ctrl-alt-s hotkey ) to invoke a backup save (in the backup folder). I'm not a scripter, but I'm sure it would be not too complicated to setup a recycling timer that calls the save backup command ever X minutes, which could perhaps be paused by replacing the Q with a script that invokes the region tool, and resets or pauses the backup timer for say 15-20 min, or however much could be enough time for how long regions can take at most.  ... I know there is an "on begin renderpass" event but I dont think that is for the render region. Let us know if you find a trick!
