Suggestion: Auto Save Scene and Save Project backup

Here is my beef. ALL too often when working with Unity I will lose changes to prefabs and assets because the Editor will lock up or crash. What I would LOVE is for it to automatically save my project to an alternate file or set of files. And when I manually hit the Save Project command it would then commit those changes to my actual project.

If the editor crashes then the next time I startup the editor and load that project it would ask "Would you like to restore the most recent project state or load the last safe state?"

This would be a HUGE work flow time savings for me and I suspect many others.

 

How this is not in the editor by default is something I'll never understand...

It seems they expect other people to make a plugin for a mainstream feature. Seriously??

 

Not entirely what you want, but one thing you may not realize, when you press Play in the editor the first thing it does is save a backup of the current scene, in case of crashes.
