# tc_SaveIncremental.py
# Tim Crowson, 9/29/2014
# Saves a new version of your current scene. Requires the scene to have been saved previously.
#	- Searches for an existing version that follows the pattern 'sceneName_vXXX.lxo'
#	- Any number of digits can be used for the version number: the script will respect the existing number padding.
#	- If no version is identified (e.g. "sceneName.lxo") the script will append '_v001' to end of the scene name.
#	- You can configure the padding for this First Version by setting the FIRST_VERSION_PADDING variable
