yes, it does work
Quote:There are two plugin folders, one in c:\program files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins and the other in the %user id% one. Both of those folders were set in edit>preferences>folders>plug-ins.
Never a good idea to keep duplicate plugins although the plugin in the User plugins folder will supercede the Gimp system plugin
Quote:I made the autosave file executable. I tried the .py file in both. I even deleted the pluginrc file to let Gimp regenerate it. Nothing.
Since you are using Windows, it is not necessary to make a plugin 'executable' Anything file.exe (+ any associated .dll files) or file.py goes in the plugins folder, usually C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
Quote:Any suggestions about how to get it to work?
First of all check the plugin script. If you have the line numbers down the left side you need the RAW version.
https://gist.github.com/rbrito/e57c87d53...utosave.py
It is as described, a bit of a hack. If you want to change the save interval you need to edit the script.
The plugin starts from bottom of the File menu File -> Activate Autosave and in Windows there is no message that it has started. Also no way that I can see to stop it.
Where does it put the saved file(s):
For Windows C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Local\Temp
For linux usr/tmp
This plugin does not make separate incremental saves, Any open image is saved and will overwrite the previous save, but that might be enough to restore your lost work.
Really it is up to the user to save their work as they go along
However, a 3 minute demo of the plugin in action Win 10 / Gimp 2.10.32 https://youtu.be/CE0-gay3dcw
