Just tried it, it works great :)

Note: if you do two backups within one minute, only the last one will be
saved. That's not really a bug though ;)

Would you like it to not overwrite?  I can change it fairly easily, by extending the naming convention to add seconds :)

I created it for just this reason, so I'm glad someone else will get some use from it...



FYI there are also two times based alternatives:
perl autosave: http://registry.gimp.org/node/20875
python autosave: http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-developer lists xcf berkeley edu/msg18118.html


but I have never used either...
