This would be awesome to combat the stability of TS. Thanks for developing this.

Small update.
I enlarged the Screen Thumbnail and changed the Time script.

New update...

Moved the Save RsScn panel out of the scene to System.
So now it does not save with the scene.

Also developed a Save RsScn Incrementally

I tried this and I get this error>

Hummm, I just downloaded it and tried it and worked without error.
You need to create a scene first and then use the File Dialog to locate it and select it.

If you are just selecting the On/Off button with the included file path:
C:\trueSpace761\tS\Rs Main Libraries\My Scene\My Backup.RsScn
You do not have that scene.
The included file path is a library and scene that is included in the Unofficial Update version 4

OK, I understand now how it works. It works fine except I don't really understand how you get a thumbnail update, as shown in "My Backup Scene".

Is the thumbnail not updating for you?

I have updated this script, that sets focus of the main 3D Window before capturing the screen shot for the thumbnail.
Before it would capture a screen shot of what ever window had focus.

Just not sure of what the steps are to get a thumbnail as shown in your post.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 22 May 2018, 21:29

Open the Library Browser, right click the Main Library Place, and select Create Library.
Name: My Backups
Type: Scene
Select OK
At the bottom of the Library Browser, Open My Backups.

In My Backups library right click Insert as: Scene,
right click that scene and rename it to My Backup.
Open the Save RsScn.RsObj and from the File Dialog browse and select the above scene.

Select the Off/On button. I usually minimize the Save RsScn (as shown) by selecting the Arrow.

Add the Hotrod to the scene.
Wait for it to save.
Delete the Hotrod.
Wait for it to save.
Select the On/Off button.

You can also right click inside the library and select Thumbnails = 128 x 96
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

For the Save RsScn Incrementally.RsObj
Set as shown.

Hotrod = My Scene2
Tree = My Scene3
Rino = My Scene4

Very IMPORTANT to turn OFF either of the saving objects when you are done, else it will continue to run in the background!
