I found myself not "saving" my vcarve desktop files on a regular basis. Our power is pretty reliable but - ya never know.
So I found a little timer in the new windows11 utilities. I set the timer up to alarm me every 10 minutes. It can be adjusted to a very small cube and placed where you want. The timer stays on "top" and flashes a new window and tone to alert you. I clear the alarm, save the file, and reset the the timer. Easy - Check it out - Merry Christmas
