Enhancement Request: Hide backup files

Much like how Office handles Autobackup files, I'd like to see this plugin set the "Hidden" system attribute (on Windows, will have to be handled differently on Linux/OSX) so that the directory doesn't get as cluttered with all the backups. If the user knows what they're doing sufficiently, they can restore them easily.

A simple CMD of "attrib +h *.bak*" does the job to hide the backups. One can easily "attrib -h *.bak*" to restore them.

AutoSaver wipes attribute forms

I stopped using this plugin when I realised that if I had a form open to edit feature attributes and autosaver did its thing, all the fields would be set to null. Disturbed to see this bear trap still lying around two years on, and now that I'm more savvy with GitHub I can raise it. You can avoid wiping the existing attributes permanently by clicking Cancel, but if you were nearly done putting a long description on a feature, that's a dead loss. Happens on every Windows 10 PC I've tried, QGIS versions 2 and 3.16.

Restoring backups

Hi, this looks pretty good.
How do you use the backups? I couldn't see any instructions on restoring - removing the .bak doesn't work.
Many thanks
Sam

crash during backup

Dear enricofer!
I was adjusting the colors in the layer properties, in this moment the autoSaver plugin makes a backup
(i used to do this every 60 minutes) - I continue adjusting - suddenly QGis crashed
see bug report:
crash_autoSaverPlugin.txt
Priority LOW-maybe it helps you...
Thx - kind regards !!
Philipp
P.S.: very useful plugin !!

error on projects with unicode chars

Very useful plugin! However, when using "strange" scandinavian letters like æ, ø, å in the file names, Python throws an error.

qgz support ?

Is there an intention to support the qgz format ?
Since it has become the default format, I think it would prevent some confusion to many users.
It took me a while to figure out that this was the reason why I couldn't open my backup.

As a note to whoever fears having lost work :
Your .qgz.bak is not corrupted, you just have to rename the extension to .qgs instead of .qgz.

autosave the individual layers into a seperate folder

Hi Enrico, I have a query regarding your plugin.
Does the plugin create an actual backup of the individual shapefile layers in a project or only the project file itself?
Reason I ask is that I accidentally and carelessly saved edits made in error and as result, lost half a days work. So would this plugin “autosave the individual layers” into a seperate folder perhaps?
