COMP.save( asynchronous = True)

Would be a delight if you could add a possibility to save a toxfile in an async way without potentialy freezing the project similiar to how this is now possible with TOP.save()

Also adding that feature to all other Operators that can save would be terrific.

Hi @plusplusone

thank you for the suggestion, this has been logged for future consideration.

Not sure how much can be done here though as the writing to disc is probably not be the main contributor here. For example when you try .saveByteArray() on a complex COMP, a similar large hang occurs as when saving to a file.

cheers

Question for @robmc

yeah, only the actual writing to disc portion is really viable for threading. It’s a whole new saving system coming in the next official release, so we are looking at performance as part of that development.
