Save automatically after stack has processed

Feature Request

Currently in my workflow I process multiple stacks at a time to be edited in Lightroom and I save every stack the same way. Natural look while changing the name so I can better keep up with the finished stacks.

It would be nice to pre-set the name (and maybe options) and enable autosaving because I know I save the stack 99% of time.

I also have autoimport enabled in Lightroom on a particular folder where I save the outputs of Macro Studio. It’s pretty neat

    @Mikael Palokangas - it’s funny, I was awake in the middle of the night last night thinking about our “Save” behavior, so this is timely. For example, if you edit a DNG in the Editor, should it just constantly auto-save the DNG, since it’s all non-destructive?

    I like your idea. Out of curiosity, would you want your stacks to auto-save in the same folder as the source frames, or in a separate folder?

      About the “constant“ DNG auto-saving. That seems like a good idea and I think there should be an cooldown time before an auto-save happens.

      I’m just playing with your idea here.
      Let’s say user has that enabled and makes some adjustments. If he knows he needs to adjust multiple sliders, or just wants to play around, there would be no point to save it - let’s say every 3rd change, but instead save after a period of “nothing has happened to this image”. Like 30 seconds by default (ofcourse adjustable :D)
