QAutoSaver is a small application for use in conjunction with Figure 53’s Qlab 2. QAutoSaver is simple and fast solution that makes customizable periodic backups of your Qlab 2 workspaces.
“It’s kind of like having something in between Time Machine and Autosave, I like knowing that something is making backups at 11pm, two weeks into tech.” -Jason Tratta, STC Live Mix Engineer

-Fixed an issue where QAS did not save correctly to directories with spaces. Example: “This Folder”

About:
QAutoSaver is a small application for use in conjunction with Figure 53’s Qlab 2. QAutoSaver 1.0 makes backup copies of open Workspaces in Qlab 2 to a directory at time intervals specified by the user.
Features:
Makes backup versions of open workspaces either by timer or the “Backup Now” Button.
Automatically appends the backups filename with _BACKUP_DATE_TIME format.
Option to save (or not) unmodified workspaces.
Will not initiate a save while Qlab 2 is actively playing a cue.
