About Powersave

PowerSave is an open‑source saving utility for Blender created by bonjorno7 with TeamC. Press the PowerSave button and the file is saved immediately, without any dialog or extra typing. A status icon appears in the 3D viewport top bar—red indicates never saved, grey shows saved with unsaved changes, and green confirms the latest changes are saved. Saves default to a temporary folder unless a permanent folder is configured. The add‑on includes a generic naming scheme to prevent overwrites, built‑in autosave options, and optional saving on startup or via the autosave interval. HardOps integration is available through the settings menu. The source code is hosted on GitHub under a GPL license and works with Blender versions 2.8 through 5.0.
