Quote:I meant what it implied by autosaving. Is it like you said, the same autosave than on a word document? If so, it's exactly the same as manually overwriting/exporting (but it would be automatic). It will erase the previous version of the image. I don't want to overwrite the previous version.
If you noticed the autosave has a nr (no.) kept - set the number of levels to keep (from memory, get to last number, then starts again at 1)

That is why the autosave plugin uses Gimp .xcf format. Are you a refugee from PS
Best keep the images in Gimp format rather than psd, at least text remains text.The attached (adapting my old 2013 version) just dumps the file to a filename+longindexnumber.xcf The index comes from the time in seconds from (I think 1970) Long but at least it is unique. Works the same as the quicksave.py Find it in Tools -> Save to xcf
