I think I hit Ctrl+S at least 300 times a day.

adam

I just don't trust any application anymore. 3DSMax and Photoshop both get Ctrl+S'd every 5-10 minutes.

Painted something darker, CTRL+S.
Moved 3 verts, CTRL+S.

Anyone else ?

Keg

don't have that issue with XSI, photoshop, or ZedBrush.

enjoying vancouver adam? and when's the beer night planned?

_Shimmer

incrament saving + autobak every 10 minutes with 8 bak files.
plus ctr+s often enough.

While photoshop is kinda reliable, 3dsmax is terrbily buggy sometimes. Especially when it comes to import obj files from zbrush. Argh. Downtimes and crashes....

tpe

No, never, but then all my files are called c:\path\filename_recover_n.max

tpe

oXYnary

tpe that only works sometimes..

yes ctrl s has become my friend. However, even then I make sequential saves. YOuever had a hard crash that makes it so you cant even open the previous file you had??...

MoP

I don't think Photoshop has ever crashed on me. 3dsmax crashes are rare, but I have 5 autoback files saved at 3 minute intervals, means I hardly ever lose anything even if the whole computer decides to shut down for no reason.

Rwolf

the newer versions 3Dsmax is much more stable. Although I still save every 10-20 min outta habit

adam

PS doesnt' crash on me, I just don't trust applications.
And CTRL+S is habit now.

ElysiumGX

i ctrl-s in XSI often, because its autosave and backup funtions are weird. plus, not good when autosave kicks in while doing a region render. no problem with photoshop, I'm using version 6.

Look what Mircosoft has done to Adam

I don't hit CTRL-W (habit in Blender, CTRL-S would work, too) that often, Blender doesn't crash much and usually the autosaves work. Photoshop never crashed on me so far and I usually only save (to PSD, saving to TGA happens more frequently, of course) when I'm taking a break and do something else.

Never had photoshop crash on me, but when modeling I usually save a new file when I get another section completed. So make an arm, save, make a head, save, etc.

frosty

ctrl s.

I use it lots a day too - but for our credit software.

Nilium

I hit it about once every five minutes, and I have editors open all hours of the day.

So let's see... about 624 times per day.

CMB

I never use Im a hard worker and I go to the file tab and press save,you all should use me as a role model.
But I still do save every five minutes...its become quite a habit...

Joshua Stubbles

I usually save every 10-15min, and each time I do, I'll check the file into the server.
At home, I have 2 external 120GB drives, so I make multiple versions of each file. When the file is finalized, I'll go back and delete the 'working' files, and keep the final.

Snowfly

Force of habit, sometimes I'll hit ctrl-s after spinning the viewport around.

Moz

I press it like a machine gun. Anytime I do anything its worth a save.

sonic

When doing web design, I always do Control+S, and Raid1 is always a lifesaver

kleinluka

photoshop crashes on me sometimes when i erase stuff from a layer. 3dmax also crashes occasionally. saving is gooood

nealb4me

Here's one for you. I don't trust control+s because sometimes when I press it, the mofo doesn't save. This is photoshop btw. So I always save with the mouse and then I know it's worked. Saving from the menu is like locking a giant padlock with a Daihatsu Charade sized key

Gmanx

There are certain actions which require a Ctrl+s passport before I even think about letting them run - booleans for example, or anything to do with auto-reducing polies or baking textures.

The same bullshit happens to me and a few others here at work. Every once in a while Photoshop CS hates it if you erase or use the clone tool on a layer and restarting the program doesn't help! That layer is toast. Even duplicating the layer just accomplishes duplicating the issue. We have to copy and paste into a new layer then delete the old layer. Drives me nuts.

Yeah I tend to ctrl s a lot during the day but it never fells that the one time I don’t, is the time that a crash will happen and I loose work.

Back when I was a graphics teacher the students would get frustrated with me for repeatedly saying “Save and Save often!”

max crashes on me at least twice a day, somtimes a lot more. PS has never crashed on me tho.

but i save every few minutes in whatever i do.

Ramucho

sometime i get wierd crashes while i'm modeling, and when I reopen the file it corrupts it (even with the autoback), and if i try making the same operation with an older version of the model it crashes, so at the end I have to export/import it into .3ds...

rooster

I have this one custom brush in photoshop that if you use it long enough -especially with lots of short strokes- photoshop will crash. I need to have a very close look at the brush settings I guess. I really like it the way it is though

Frank

I save a new version every time I do something I think is worth keeping. I have over a hundred iterations of the model I'm working on right now. So I guess my answer would be no, I don't ctrl-s.
