Hi. First of all apologies if this was requested before.
I've only recently discovered Notepad++, and I like it a lot so far.
One feature I really like is the verbose backup option. But what I don't like about it is this: it saves the backup in the same directory where the original file is.
It would be really cool if all the backup files would be automagically placed in some other pre-configured directory.
Keep up the good work ;)

My own preference would be that backup files be saved not in a single, defined folder, but in a special subfolder of the original file. For example, the two files

I agree with that feature!
Should be great to define a directory and every file get backed up here.
i agree too.
also, i didn't find a option to specify the delay between backups.
My own preference would be that backup files be saved not in a single, defined folder, but in a special subfolder of the original file. For example, the two files
C:\MyFolderA\MyFile.Txt
C:\MyFolderB\MyFile.Txt
would get backed up as
C:\MyFolderA\~Backup~\MyFile.Txt
C:\MyFolderB\~Backup~\MyFile.Txt

Greg, i like your idea. Another option could also be:
C:\MyFolderA\MyFile.Txt
C:\MyFolderB\MyFile.Txt
would get backed up as:
C:\Backups\MyFolderA\MyFile.Txt
C:\Backups\MyFolderB\MyFile.Txt
Where C:\Backup is the desired backup directory.
That's how UltraEdit does it.
