    Hi!

    What really bothers me about NPP is it's handling of backup files. Is there reallly no way to have all the backup-files in one directory, ie. in %temp%? First I thought the nppbackup directory was exactly what I wanted, until I found out that this is created under every directory where I edit files - which is in my opinion even word than putting the files just beside the original one.

    ... or am I really missing something here and there is some kind of solution, like setting an environmen variable oder so?

      Version 4.2 has this feature, although I've not yet tried it...

      "5. Add new feature which backups files in a user specific directory."

      But download version 4.2.1 or later.  Link:

      I agree with this.  I am leaving my footprint all over the network. I would like to be able to configure where the nppbackup folder gets created so I can push all the backups to my c:\temp\
