Autosave for GIMP - pixelmixer - 02-15-2025
Hi,
An autosave Script-Fu plug-in for GIMP 3. It saves a numbered version of the open files, that have been edited, into a named folder. It does not save over the opened file. You do have to start the Autosave manually each session, it’s almost an autosave.
A download zip is available here...

Any issues, let me know

i've tried to download and put the extracted file into scripts folder on linux. but when i tried to activate the error is occured.
here is error log from the status
Code:
Plug-in crashed: "script-fu"
(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

The Gimp 3 script-fu works here: kubuntu 24.04 / Gimp 3.0.2 appimage.
What type of installation are you using ? From repo / flatpak / snap / appimage
Not the best all-in-one screenshot...but as a checklist.
[attachment=13393]
From the zip the two folders straight into the script-fu folder ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/scripts (4)
They can also go in the plug-ins folder as an alternative, already in correct folders and executable.
What I have:
(1) First run File -> Almost Autosave -> Set Up and put in your requirements. Ok that and get that Set Up message.
(2) File -> Almost Autosave -> Activate to start.
(3) The Activate Message and a moving indicator bar "Activate:gimp-get-parasite"
(5) And that works here, the first two autosave files.
I cannot reproduce your errors here. Make sure you run Set Up first and check that location of storage folder exists.
