It would be really great if all the backup files could be created in one user-specified directory, e.g. C:\My directory\nppBackups, instead of a subdirectory "nppBackup" in the directory where the file is located. I think this functionality should not be too difficult to add. Can you put it on the to-do list? Thanks a lot!

I know several editors (for example PSPad) that save the backups in subdirectories created from their location, i.e. C:\My website\index.html to C:\nppBackups\C\My website\index.html.2007-05-18_133557.bak. That seems a nice solution to me.

That's the best solution, IMHO. But for this really excellent editor to go to the top of the heap, where it belongs, it has to have an automatic backup capability. Not having it is truly a market killer. Auto backup in other editors has saved my butt on more than one occasion. This is not just idle chatter.

Is this feature on the to-do-list already? I really hope that it will be added to Notepad++.
Maybe there is someone, who creates this plugin. I think Don won't include it in Notepad++ direct.
Best Regards

Maybe Don can reply and tell if he's going to plan this feature for a future release. Else I'll have to write a plug-in by myself maybe.
How about files that have the same name?
