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

Adobe PLEASE consider this. Autosave is essential, but it absolutely ruins creative flow.

This is especially problematic with Ae and Pr since the latest update. Any interaction with the computer causes these two programs to hang for 1 to 2 minutes. ie during Open, Save, Render Queuing, Close. The program just sits there in a (Not Responding) state (on Windows 10). It acts like it's trying to reach something that it can't and waits until it times out, then starts responding again. Almost like someone forgot to turn off a debug parameter that it looking for something on the developers file system that doesn't exist on a customers system. But I'm speculating on the cause.

PFTrack (and other apps) save with each interaction, and even save undo logs so when you re-open the project you're literally right where you stopped last time.

I did have one project go corrupt on me during a total system crash so just add shadow copies in the background and the ability to archive a version of the project and we're all set.

Just came back to comment. Why is this not under review for a new version?

This is KILLING me today. Auto-saves are taking upwards of 1 min each time. Total productivity killer

every change should be journaled. this way you don't have to save except when you want to ... get with the times Adobe.

...on the plus side, on larger projects the existing autosave popup doubles as a free screen-break mindfullness app. 😄

It should not only be possible to run it in the background (but with the option to switch this off because it will be terribly unstable in itself and cause other problems I am certain!!!) but also either way it should not start autosaving if it would interrupt something you are doing. Wait a second or so after a click or keypress

If I have just pasted something, wait till it's actually pasted then do the autosave!

If i'm IN THE MIDDLE OF DRAGGING SOMETHING, don't autosave!

etc

The auto save popping up and interrupting my work flow and concentration is absolutely infuriating and quite frankly an insult to all users. It's almost as though Adobe have created this software(which is basically a copy of FCP7), taken our money and then just left us for dead as they walk off into the sunset laughing whilst counting our cash. It's incredible that such a small problem is big enough to make every serious film maker so annoyed that they end up hating the over all software and yet they do absolutely nothing about it. After I finish my latest project I am defecting to FCP X. Pathetic.

Absolutely agree with this and all the comments, frequent auto saving is a best practice but on large projects the auto saves become obnoxious and very frustrating.

It's 2019 now Adobe you can auto save in the background just like every other modern application does.

Come on Adobe devs please! This auto-save popup is really annoying, there are not even any third-party scripts that can fix this issue.
