Blend Files
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Save
|
|
Save Prompt
|
|
Asks for confirmation before closing or opening a new blend-file
|
|
if the current file has unsaved changes.
|
|
|
|
.. _prefs-save_load-backups:
|
|
|
|
Save Versions
|
|
Number of versions created (for backup) when saving newer versions of a file.
|
|
|
|
This option keeps saved versions of your file in the same directory,
|
|
using extensions: ``.blend1``, ``.blend2``, etc.,
|
|
with the number increasing to the number of versions you specify.
|
|
|
|
Older files will be named with a higher number.
|
|
E.g. with the default setting of 2, you will have three versions of your file:
|
|
|
|
- ``*.blend`` -- last saved.
|
|
- ``*.blend1`` -- second last saved.
|
|
- ``*.blend2`` -- third last saved.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Auto Save
|
|
Enables :doc:`Auto Save </troubleshooting/recover>`.
|
|
Tells Blender to *automatically* save a backup copy of your work-in-progress files to the :ref:`temp-dir`.
|
|
|
|
Timer (Minutes)
|
|
This specifies the number of minutes to wait between each :doc:`Auto Save </troubleshooting/recover>`.
|
|
The default value of the Blender installation is 2 minutes.
|
|
The minimum is 1, and the Maximum is 60 (save every hour).
|
|
|
|
File Preview Types
|
|
Select how blend-file preview are generated.
|
|
These previews are used both in the :doc:`File Browser </editors/file_browser>`
|
|
and for previews shown in the operating system's file browser.
|
|
|
|
:None: Do not generate any blend-file previews.
|
|
:Auto:
|
|
If there is no camera in the 3D Viewport a preview using a screenshot of the active Workspace is generated.
|
|
If a camera is in the scene, a preview of the viewport from the camera view is used.
|
|
:Screenshot: Generate a preview by taking a screenshot of the active Workspace.
|
|
:Camera View: Generate a preview of a Workbench render from the camera's point of view.
|
|

|

Auto Run Python Scripts
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Python scripts (including driver expressions) are not executed by default for security reasons.
|
|
You may be working on projects where you only load files from trusted sources,
|
|
making it more convenient to allow scripts to be executed automatically.
|
|
|
|
Excluded Paths
|
|
Blend-files in these folders will *not* automatically run Python scripts.
|
|
This can be used to define where blend-files from untrusted sources are kept.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:doc:`Python Security </advanced/scripting/security>`.
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
When explicitly written, the setting to hide these data-blocks is ignored.
