Is it possible to enable an autosave after any operation I do in InkScape?



This would be really handy because sometimes it crashes, and pressing CTRL + S is annoying.

No. You can have an autosave but it is based on an interval with a 1 minute minumum, not on an action.



  • Click on the Edit menu > Inkscape Preferences > Input/Output >

  • Check "Enable autosave".


enter image description here


By the way, in case you did not know: Inkscape does an emergency save when it crashes so you should be able to retrieve the file that was active while it crashed.



When Inkscape crashes, it tries to save the document as a backup with following name:



<filename>.<datetime>.#


If the document has not been saved yet, the name is:



inkscape-emergency.<datetime>.#


Note, that there is no .svg file name ending.




On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.) Inkscape tries to save in the following paths:





  • Home directory (~/, $HOME, /home//)





  • /tmp/





  • In the current working directory




(in that order).
