wow... hmmm I do not know what to say, idea is great but I am not sure I can do that with Javascript... O_o... Maybe need to go in the Photoshop API for that... Problem with Photoshop is when you start a script it will automatically stop the current action of the user, I do not success to run my script and to work with…
does anyone know an actual reason why Photoshop has been developed without strides towards some sort of autosave feature?? I know, the rule of thumb in photoshop is simply just to save all the damn time, but sometimes I forget.

hmmm there is something important to understand here. "Autosave" is not a simple script doing a ctrl+S for you every X minutes.

Hi guys, I update this thread saying I found a solution about an auto save function under Photoshop... As Lamont said on the top using a cmd file it will launch my Javascript function. It works well, and this seems to be very transparent. There is a DOS window staying open in window. But you can reduce it in the task bar.…
It's the way the photoshop format is. Can't be done. All or none. Would be best to have a different paint program (or format within photoshop) to update just the affected areas. A few years ago, someone at Siggraph was talking with us about extracting the current document from the history state in the temp cache. Just use…
After Effects saves a recovery file when it crashes. I don't remember if Photoshop does, because I don't remember the last time it crashed on me. After Effects crashes every 10 minutes on the dot though.
If the autosave script idea does not work in the end, there are other possible approaches. I really like the little timer bar in Mudbox, flashing red when it's really time to save. Not intrusive at all but works quite well. I am sure something similar could be run within the Photoshop interface!
