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.

    never had this "window focus issue", until my latest fresh install of 2022. ULTRA annoying.

    They have been attempting to fix this longer than my undo group mismatches.

    Adobe are hard at work fixing this but every time they type a line of code they are interrupted by a 5 minute autosave so it might take a few more decades

    Make Auto-Save a background function.

    I just lost 2 hours of work because the autosave wouldn't complete its task and I had to force quit. So frustrating...

    This also causes scripts to crash, scripts that use palettes can try to run code if the user is performing an action right before this window pops up and it can kill the panel.
