Save incremental and auto-save

I can't find how to do these? Does it even exist? If not, it's be nice to have.

Save incremental is simply the save feature, but save into a different file where you look at the end of the current scene's filename and see if there's a number there. If there is, add 1 and use that filename to save. If there isn't add 001 or 0001 or just 1, whatever and save.

Auto-save is simple. Save in a separate temporary file every X minutes. DAZ should look for this file when starting the app. It should be deleted when closing a scene. Problem I see is that the current saves can take quite a while.

    Auto-save is much requested, but given that saving can take a noticeable amount of time it's not necessarily a good idea. Incremental save is not available, though it should be possible to write a script to offer it as a command.

    My free Recent Files plugin

    http://www.pontari.com/Products/DazStudio/RecentFiles

    Includes a smart save incremental feature and a few other productivity goodies. Though DAZ has done their hardest to make replacing their Recent Files with mine difficult (theirs isn't a editable menu item so to remove it you have to edit text files by hand).
