Hi,
I've just released an update to the plugin 'autosave_a.py', version 0.4.0 . The package can be found at
«
https://github.com/rbbrzrd/GIMP-plugins/blob/master/autosave_a-0.4.zip?raw=true»
This update is the beginning of version 0.4 so 0.4.0, with the goal of improving the interface.
The code should work for GIMP-2.6 and GIMP-2.8 ; on Linux and Windows but probably not OSX because it uses GTK.
Changes to 'Autosave' are:
— New '.pot' file for i18n (translation) in folder'autosave_a' of the zip archive.
— A 'dirty' flag button added before the recall preset choice on the control line, the flag is set if the configuration was edited after it was displayed. Set flag label is '*', after some user deliberation
, a mouse click on it reset the values in config area to the preset in the select-box (next in line).
— Tweaks in graphical user interface for clearer appearance (see image below)
— Try for clearer instructions.
— Correct a couple of minor bugs.
No change to 'NoUI_autosave'.
In one invocation of 'Autosave', here is an image of the plug-in windows, captured before and after a click on 'Start'.
(found the solution: needed javascript enable!)
Looking at the 'Backup phase' I find it easier now to see that the preset 'LastStop config' will change, for example. This image is in the package.
Installation is similar to version 0.3 , see «

Example of output name:
The first backup file produces with the above 'autosave-0.4.gif' was 'BU-ID1-autosave-0-1.xcf.bz2'.
1) [BU] is for backup, all file made by this plug-in start with BU-ID,
2) [ID1] is the ID number of the image in GIMP,
3) [autosave-0] is the truncated name, to the first period, of the image,
4) [1] is from a file counter implemented for the 'number kept' and finally
5) [.xcf.bz2] the extension given by the plug-in.
Your suggestions, since I'm not sure how to proceed further if at all, and comments are welcome.
