History Manager is a tool for 3D artists that allows you to work faster on your projects. ( Eng version )

No more fear of scene crashes, accidental deletions, or mistakes — you can always return to any previous project state with a single click.

Features
Save History
Save the current scene state manually at any moment. All versions are displayed in a convenient list with date and time. Double-click — and you're already at the desired point in history.

Background Auto-save
The script can also save files automatically. Choose an interval from 5 minutes to 2 hours — and forget about manual saving.

Quick .max Save
Built-in "Save as .max" button with automatic version numbering — a convenient replacement for the standard Save As.

Save Formats and Compression
The script saves history in two formats:

.mx — without compression
Regular binary scene file. Saves instantly, opens directly. Suitable when you have enough disk space and maximum speed is important.

.mxz — with compression
Compressed scene archive. The script automatically detects available archivers on your computer and uses the best one found:

🥇 WinRAR — priority choice, maximum compression level (-m5)
🥈 7-Zip — backup option, gzip format
🥉 Built-in GZip — used if neither WinRAR nor 7-Zip are installed

Compression happens asynchronously in the background — the script launches the archiver as a separate process and doesn't block your work in 3ds Max. As soon as the archive is ready, the file automatically appears in the history list.

Compressed .mxz files are unpacked automatically when loading — just double-click on an entry in the list, the script will unpack and open the required version itself.

History Manager — your insurance against project loss.
