Save multi-backup versions in subfolder

Post by NathanOtano »

Hey!

I'd like to save my verions of the multi-backup function in the "project's save directory" and not in a tmp folder somewhere that will vary beetween my computers. But the current naming of the fils in really confusing, as they come after the actual file and some collaborator's are confused. So I see two solutions for me :
- Being able to choose a better naming convention for those files to sort them at the beginning, or the end, or before the actual files of a folder.
- Being able to choose to save them in a subfolder "tvp_backups" just next to the backupped files. That way no confusion with the actual files to use but the backups are still next to the files, and you can easily delete the whole folder if not needed.

I guess I don't understand your request like it's meant to be, cause you can set a directory to save the multi-backup-files to. I got one folder in my project where all multi-backup files get saved too and once or twice in a week I delete the old ones.

In fact I want a subfolder in each folder I work in. If i work on another project, I want my subfoler within the folder of this project. When i go back to the old project, it is now saved at this different directory in a subfolder also, with the same name.

Does it make sense?
I never have all my animation scenes/layout/storyboard in the same folder, shots are sorted by their name with a folder for each, and the whole pipeline of each shot are in this shot folder.
