      Yeah, autosave is such a lifesaver, I enable it wherever I can, Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Scribus, Thunderbird, autosave it all! And do your backups!

          Yeah, also generally very helpful for documents from banks etc.

          (That’s a personal pet peeve of mine when people don’t do it like YYYY-MM but e.g. 1-Jan-2024. Who wouldn’t love to have their documents sorted in a way that it starts with the first day of every month, then all the second days and so on …)

          https://joplinapp.org/ does this on it’s export files btw … 😓

            My computer’s filesystem stores several “date” metadata fields for each file, such as “date created” and “date modified”, so I don’t have to manually manage such things in the file name. I can simply sort by recently modified, recently created, etc.

      Yep, and with seconds at best delays. Stopped typing or making changes for three seconds? Save!!

      Though autosave kinda’ requires a huge undo limit, at least for me when doing anything remotely artsy. I’m nowhere good enough to not make minutes-long mistakes.
