while recently testing the alpha version of 2025, i was making great progress, found a great set of things that worked well for a project, then it crashed. if there had been an auto save or a reminder system, it would have prevented the loss of my progress. as it is, im stuck trying to find what i lost

    There is an AutoSave plugin in 2025 (as well as in 4.2x) but only for Premier member ~

    I think of Auto Safe as a quite risky tool in DAZ Studio and here is why:
    Although it is helpful to keep your working progress, it might lead to "duplicated formula errors", mostly when saving a new morph asset and saving a scene within the same session.

    Not sure what you mean... but duplicate formula only results from duplicate url IDs of modifier assets... Saving a Scene never creates any modifier assets let alone url IDs. Auto Save plugin never saves Figure or Modifier assets either ~~

     Saving a morph asset in the same session as having a morph loader file bares the risk of duplicate formulas. Happend to me several times.
    Do not save your scene during the same session, as you are saving a morph as a morph asset.

    I don't understand.... Saving a Scene DUF writes nothing to data folder, how can it produce duplicate formula ?

    DS versions before 4.21 create duplicates if one specifies identical IDs before saving figure/morph assets ~ Re-ERC Freeze without ERC Bake creates duplicates ~

    I ever created and saved hundreds of morph assets while saving my project DUFs from time to time but I had not experienced any duplicate formula errors.

    I agree, there seems no way AutoSave could produce duplicate formulae.

    Fine, If you don't see it that way, o.k.
    In case, there will be an Auto Save, please give the options to switch it off. That's all.
    thank you.

    There is an on/off switch at the left-hand end of its toolbar; it saves to a temporary file in any vent, not your actual scene file (wouldn't want to overwrite the saved state with a temporary working state that was not to be kept, or was to be saved under a different name)

    Ah, thank you, Richard :-)
