PowerSave is a tool intended to streamline saving and make saving itself more accessible, friendly and more artist streamlined. Hit the powersave button and save instantly. No additional thought required. Well maybe a little. After installing PowerSave and configuring the default folder you are good to go. In fact you can use it out the box without configuring anything but your PowerSaves will be saved to a temp location on your computer. In the 3D View options area you should see an icon for PowerSave and its color alone lets you know the status of your current scene.
