Feature to Auto-Save Recent Changes in Preferred Time Interval in Studio Pro

Question

37

We all might have experienced loss of unsaved work. It will be great to have a auto-save feature with following details :

Mendix Studio Pro would greatly benefit from an optional auto-save feature for recent changes, providing users with the ability to safeguard their work seamlessly.
Once activated, this feature should allow users to set a preferred time interval for automatic saving, such as every 10 minutes or every hour.
This functionality will help to prevent the loss of crucial modifications, particularly in scenarios where the system experiences disruptions, encounters failures, unintentional closure of Studio Pro occurs, or when the application becomes unresponsive, necessitating the use of the task manager to terminate the process.
By implementing this enhanced auto-save feature, developers can focus on their development tasks with confidence, knowing that their valuable changes are consistently preserved, thereby minimizing the risk of data loss.

Please let me know if similar feature already exist in any other versions of Mendix. Please vote if this does not exist.

Thanks in advance !

I'd add:

Optionally auto save at every run F5 or Commit, to avoid showing the (sometimes annoying) Save Changes confirmation dialog
