MD Autosave Suite - Windows

The Autosave suite is a long missing element from Daz Studio, enriched with many other features to make it handier than a simple save action. Except from the main Autosave panel, the suite also includes a File Manager, an Advance Loader and a Notes Dialog.

The main features are:

• Monitoring: It monitors your scene and saves it, in regular time, if it needs to be saved. All options are included in a single pane (tab), which can be placed wherever you want in Daz Studio pane placeholders.
• Snooze action: You get a snooze button to postpone the save procedure if you are in the middle of something important.
• Write and read scene Notes: It gives you the ability to add and save notes into your scene (fully compatible with the freebie Node Notes given in Daz Store as a Christmas gift in December 2022, or as a free script from my site -www.mikededes.com-).
• Advanced Loader Dialog: An Advanced Loader is included so you can see the notes for each scene file even before opening it.
• Advanced Save action: The Advanced Save action gives you the ability to manually save the next file in an instant with the current settings.
• Manager Files Dialog: You get a Manager Files dialog to manage your saved files. Here you can delete, archive or backup any file(s) you want.
• All above main features come with new actions, a new Autosave menu and a toolbar. All these new actions can be placed as handy buttons on the included or any other toolbar for easy access and monitoring.

The Autosave Tab has tooltips and the What this feature.

Beware: This version is for Win (x64) only!

Beware: The plugin needs activation after installation. You can find the serial number when you log in into DAZ page, under your Account/Serial Numbers. Copy the serial number and paste it into DAZ Studio in the popup dialog under the menu Help/About Installed Plugins.
