Hi @honor Welcome to the Forum

Sorry to say no, it's not possible. Just like power failures, some things are unavoidable. Waiting an hour to do a save should be a lesson learned. Saves should be done at the least every 10 minutes.

Automatic backups for Paint.NET would be nice. I don't expect people to automatically think to save every 10 minutes.

I do. I also save before I run a plugin or complex effect. Data safety 👍

Do you have a crash log? Did the app just die and diseappear, or did you get a "Sorry, there was an unhandled exception and Paint.NET has to close" kind of error box?

This is in the long-term plans. I've been slowly building up some lower-level building blocks to make this possible. It'll be awhile though.
