BACKGROUND AUTO-SAVE, Auto-save should not interrupt your workflow

The title says it all. Auto-save should function in the background and NOT pop up with an annoying progress bar every time it runs. Gets REALLY bad on large project files when auto-saves take up to a min every single time.

Total workflow killer. Should be just like taking snapshots of your project in the background while continue working.

The dialog even pops up and steals focus from another app you're in.

Hey Adobe, why are you not responding in any way to these numerous requests on this topic? This autosave feature, as handy as it is (because Adobe applications tend to crash often 😉 ) is so annoying when working on big projects where autosave takes 2 minutes each time...

It's 2023 ! Come on Adobe.
If you can't figure out live save, at least don't disrupt the workflow somehow.

"Adobe achieved revenue of $17.61 billion in fiscal year 2022,"

Let that sink in while we get another "Wow is us and our small Dev team" excuse.

Hey Victoria, any news on this request spanning 5 years? In reality we have been begging for this for 20+ years but who's counting?

Yesterday I was in the middle of dragging points in Illustrator and AE just pops to the foreground with an autosave box 😄 Absolutely ridiculous behaviour and spectacular that we still have to be on here moaning about it since 2018 😄
