Press ESC to cancel

Has this ever worked for anyone on a MAX autosave?

[dlparisi]

Yes, works most of the time for me. Autosave alwasy seems to happen right when I'm in the middle of something so I'll ESC out of the autosave, finish what I'm doing and then just Ctrl-S to make sure I don't lose anything.

Never works for me

It works for me most of the times ..you just need to quickly press ESC at the beginning of saving and don't hold your finger on the button as that usually tsend Max to " not responding" state

Maybe the quick press at the start is where I fail. I usually wait until I get tired of waiting to press it. It also seems that the autosave doesn't do anything a lot of the time. I'll crash and think, well I just had an autosave 5 minutes ago, however, my backup will be hours old.

This is the Autosave you want - no more of that 'where's my backup of 5 mins ago';

Works nearly all the time..

Works great for me, but only since Max 2016 (which I am still using, 'scared off' updating Max after seeing all the negative messages), previous versions were useless.

[glorybound]

Yes, it is working for me now, too.

Just make sure that you set your project folder each time. Or the auto save will save to the last set project folder! I forget this all the time.

Yes, I generally get that right.
