Reload textures on change When on, reloads bitmapped textures if the date of the bitmap file has been updated. Default=on. Recent Files in File Menu Sets the maximum number of recently edited MAX files to display in the list File > Open Recent. Range=0 to 50. Default=9. Auto Backup group Auto Backup saves your work periodically. In the event of a power failure, if you have not saved your work, you can load in an auto backup (autoback) file from the autoback subdirectory in the program directory (or under \My Documents\3dsmax\) and continue working with little lost work. Auto Backup creates auto backup files based on a time interval. The name of an auto backup file is AutoBackupN.max, where AutoBackup is the main part of the name (AutoBackup is the default), and N is an integer from 1 to 99. For example, if you've set Auto Backup to create three auto backup files at one-minute intervals, Auto Backup will create AutoBackup1.max, and then a minute later AutoBackup2.max, and then AutoBackup3.max. At the fourth minute, the system overwrites AutoBackup1.max, and so on. Enable Toggles Auto Backup. Number of Autobak Files The number of backup files to write before overwriting the first one. Range=1 to 99. Default=3. Backup Interval (minutes) The number of minutes between backup file generation. Default=5.0. NOTE This interval takes effect only when the scene changes; for example, if you move an object or apply a modifier. If nothing changes, for example, if you leave your computer for a while, then no backups are created. Also, if you save the scene file manually, Auto Backup resets the Backup Interval timer. Auto Backup File Name Lets you enter an alternative name for the auto backup file. Auto backup files with a different name still have the filename extension .max. Default=AutoBackup. Log File Maintenance group The following controls affect the max.log file. 7752 | Chapter 26 Customizing the User Interface
