timed incremental save during a process or autosave
« on: November 17, 2023, 10:20:16 AM »
Hi All,

I think this topic has been addressed before, but it seems so important to me I would like to add it to the suggestion box again.

It would be great if the option was available to set a incremental save prior to starting a workflow process. i.e every 20 minutes during a process a save point (or restore point) is automatically carried out. I am currently building a mesh, it has been going for 30 hours and is only at 70%, if metashape crashes now I lose all that work. But if I could have set a backup save for each hour at least i only lose part of an hour.

We also have multiple licenses of metashape and computers of very different processing speeds, So the another thing a partial save would allow me to do would be to save during a process and if a faster pc becomes availible, move the partially processed job onto the quick pc and start processing where the save occurred.

The incremental saves should be for every workflow object - Point Cloud, Mesh, Ortho, DEM etc

Thanks for reading, i hope this can be incorporated into a future release.

Regards
Ben

Happy new year to everyone in the Metashape development team and the Metashape user community! :)

Just wanted to ask if this request could be considered for an update that is released in 2024.

Cheers
Ben

Absolutely agree! This would be a super-nice feature...especially for depth maps! +1
