Make autosave filenames more comfortable

[3d-labor]

I would be very glad, if the autosave mechanism would produce filnames, where one can see the original file name. Because of the bigger RAM avaiable for most users it is possible to work in two 3dsMAX sessions, which is much more efficient. But the autosave file has the name "AutoBackup01.max" regardless the name of the scene. You can alter "Autobackup" to another name and you can have 99 autosave files. But if you look for the right one in a case of emergency it can be tricky. AutoCAD has the naming of autosave files regarding to the filename since decades (at a rough estimate).

Put this in you scripts\startup folder: autobackAutoname.ms Run as script once if you don't want to restart for it to take effect.

Swordslayer, thank you very much. It works great. I really searched for a script like this a long time. Now it´s time for AutoDESK to integrate this into3dsMAX.
