[Feature Request] AutoSave Option for Database

[TayKayTheFrench]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can come across various crashes from different reasons ( not only menyoo related ) when creating a npc map with Menyoo, and that can makes me lose hours of works without any way to recover those.

Describe the solution you'd like
A toggleable option creating an autosave folder for the current session database that can be link to a specific .xml
The idea would be to, when enabling the option, having to name a folder for the autosaves to go in, which would probably be stored in the "menyooStuff\Spooner" folder.

I really like this idea. One thing I would need to be mindful of is that files can stack up quite quickly. What might be an option is that I create a generic autosave.xml that gets over-written every x minutes. Its then up to the User to manually save their own version. It could be autosaving for as long as spooner mode is active, and the save frequency could be user configurable based on their pc's performance.

I’m in the same situation as TayKay, we probably do the same kind of work, and I run into the exact same issue with crashes wiping hours of progress.
I’d really appreciate an autosave option exactly like the one you described: a single autosave.xml overwritten every X minutes while Spooner Mode is active, with a user-defined interval.
That would be extremely helpful for preventing data loss during long mapping sessions.

@itsjustcurtis Based on After effects method of AutoSaving, they just stack the autosaves versions with 1,2,3... and then keeping the 20 last versions. like if you got an " autosave 120 " as your last autosave, the further version you could get gonna be the "autosave 100" which let some space for stepping back on different versions without stacking too much. And for 2 or 5 min autosaves settings, the amount shouldn't be that problematic, I based that on my after effects experience. Btw, I think that options for autosaves with a 2 - 5 - 10 - 30 min should be enough for most cases of work
