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

adam · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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

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

_Shimmer · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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

tpe

oXYnary · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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

adam · Sep 2005

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

ElysiumGX · Sep 2005

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

KDR_11k · Sep 2005

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.

Soccerman18 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

ctrl s.

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

Nilium · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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

Moz · Sep 2005

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

sonic · Sep 2005

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

kleinluka · Sep 2005

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

nealb4me · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 dont, 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!

Thermidor · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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 · Sep 2005

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.
