Description rebuilderster 2015-11-22 12:08:50 UTC

I'm working with a large image on a network drive. Autosave is causing minute-long freezeups since saving to the NAS takes a while. Can the save process be done in the background so work isn't interrupted? Failing that, I'd prefer an option somewhere to choose where autosaves are located, so I could point it at a local drive. 

I can disable autosaves, of course, but I do like the feature.

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

Due to decade-old decisions this isn't easy to  implement, I'm afraid. But it's not just important for saving over network drivers.

Save to a temporary file, then copy the result over on success

I thought we were already doing this, but apparently that only
was done for remote urls, back in the days we still supported that.

The temporary file is saved in the tmp dir, and then copied over.
We even make a safety copy of the original file if it exists before
doing the copy. This should make saving over network drives faster
and more reliable, as well as saving in general more robust.
