Description
It would be nice to have the option to auto-save maps and tilesets with some interval after each change. This can prevent data loss, but can also be simply convenient to make changes immediately available without having to trigger a save manually.
The auto-saving should apply to all currently not auto-saved assets: Maps, Tilesets and Worlds.
Suggestion: Add a combo-box with text "Autosave interval", with the following options:
* Disabled
* 1 second
* 5 seconds
* 1 minute
Alternatively, a text edit could be added where the user can fill in the exact amount of seconds to wait after a change. Something like:
[ ] Autosave after making changes: [ 1 seconds ]
