SaveObjects is a plug-in for Lightwave 6.0 or greater. It provides many more options for saving objects from Layout. The Generics in the file include the main Save Objects plug-in, and the auxilliary plug-ins Backup And Save Object, Replace With Backup Object, Save New Object Revision, Replace With Next Object Revision and Replace With Previous Object Revision.

Save Objects, the core plug-in, provides an interface for selecting and saving objects. It includes features for optionally overwriting read-only files, as well as setting the files to read-only or read-write after they have been saved. A series of versioning features allow for creating backups, incrementing revisions, revision backups and duplicating the object on disk.

Backup And Save Object creates a backup of the object already on disk, and the saves the object in Layout in place of the original.

Replace With Backup Object swaps the backup and the original on disk and reloads the object, effectivly reloading the backup into Layout.

Save New Object Revision saves the object with a new revision number, incrementing any existing number if it already has one.

Replace With Next Object Revision replaces the current object with the next revision from disk, if one exists.

Replace With Previous Object Revision replaces the current object with the previous revision from disk, if one exists.
