No problem, I was also very busy 
Can you test this version ? https://github.com/lapineige/Blender_add-ons/blob/master/IncrementalFileSave_v1-6.py
Thanks
A little up, to be sure you saw the latest version
hey hey
i just tested a bit but iām very busy.
for the time being could maybe someone else here test a bit?
also i hope you are not sad but i configured blender so that i just have to hit a button in the save menu to increment and save.
so i hit ctrl-shift s to open the dialogue window and then iāve set the s-button to file.filenum on press and to file.execute on release.
like this blender does exactly what i want
You mean, you use the classical increment tool included in Blender ? (there is a more simple way: [F2], [+], [Enter] :-D)
I know this tool, and i doānt want to reproduce it. In fact, it create a new file, with the bigest number, who is the file on witch you are working. So the newest file always have a different name.
But if you are working with link of assets, you will need to change the path in all your files each time your use that tool.
My goal is to always keep the same name for the newest file, and to have some backup with an incremental number.
Could you maybe create a version of your add-on that does [F2], [+], [Enter] with one click?
Yes I could, but I donāt see the point: my add-on is working very differently, creating a backup with an incremental suffix. But you still work on the same file.
The main goal is to remove any linking issue, and also to keep the file name short and easier to read.
Itās quite different from the included incremental saving tool.
You want a macro to save some time, isnāt iit ? If I remember well, those functions are not available in the API. That force us to re-invent the wheel, you canāt just make a shortcut for it.
I could do it, but I really donāt have any time for the moment, and I think itās a too different workflow to include it in my add-on (however I could make a separate version).
If anyone have some time to do it, you can even start from my code if you want (itās not perfect but quite working to detect/increment numbers, you basically just need to remove any copy operation).
Alright, no problem.
Thanks 
If you didnāt find any other add-on doing that, or if no one did it, in letās say 1 month, could you ping me again ? I should have more free time to work on it 
(and if you have some python basics, even if my code is really crappy, I can guide you to make the change, itās not a big modification at all)
PS: Just a short warning, in the current public version the script only use relative path (I didnāt had any time to publish a fix).
Iāll look at the code and see how complicated it is, maybe Iāll manage on my own.
Fine, you can find the latest version here: https://framagit.org/Lapineige/Blender_add-ons/blob/master/SaveIncremental/IncrementalFileSave_v1-7.py
(if you prefer github, just replace framagit.org by github.com)
I also made a version with automatic save each X min: https://framagit.org/Lapineige/Blender_add-ons/blob/master/AutoSaveIncremental/AutoSaveIncremental_v1-6.py
Quite handy IMHO (you almost forget about saving your file, as you have an incremental save - but be aware that the weight is multipliedā¦).
What is mainly useful for you is the detect_number function. A simple +1 after that and some change to the saving procedure and youāre done
