Change incremental save name structure

Hi ! 

 

I use the incremental save a lot in Maya, and I would like to know if it is possible to change the way it is named.
By default when you use "Increment and Save" the name of your scene will be "xxxx.0001.ma", I would prefer to have something like "xxxx_v0001.ma".

 

And it would be perfect if I could set an autosave with those settings, like every X minutes my scene will be saved as "xxxx_v0001" and "xxxx_v0002" etc...


I've been looking on the internet for a while, and I can't find anything that can help me.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

It is not currently possible to change the naming of autosave files as Maya uses the dot character to recognize the version suffix.
