Hi,
Just to share a simple script (gave it another go) that toggles Off and
On the Autosave pref (if originally On),
fired by an "onBeginFrame" event, which essentially restarts the set
Autosave counter when a region is drawn.
Initially, perhaps due to something I was missing (or a bug?) running
-any- command other than LogMessage commands on the 'onBeginFrame' event
would simply freeze everything.
But! starting jscript timers which in turn (indirectly) ran XSI commands
seemed to work,
so the Autosave counter is reset (to however amount of minutes) 1/10th
of a second after drawing a region, or launching a preview.
So you can leave your regular Autosave pref to some 20-30 minutes, and
never be bothered by your region getting interrupted due to a save
happening midway, unless you are use to making rather big regions at
high quality, in which case you may set higher autosave gaps accordingly.
For big frames in HiQ (at the end of lookdev) I personally only launch
frame renders (which are unnaffected by autosaves anyways).
So let me know if any issue,
Cheers!

Hi,
I thought I'd ask in case anyone has run into this and has a workaround.
With heavy scenes I regularly get lock-ups with the render region is
open and autosave kicks in. This is with redshift so I'm not sure if
the problem is solely there.
Are there any hooks for a script or anything that surpress autosave or
is there some way to do an entirely custom autosave that checks for
regions before triggering?
Best regards,
Fabian
