It would be nice to have an autobackup feature so you can go back one version of the file just edited. PFE32 does this nicely: Just before FILE->SAVE, it renames the original file by appeneding ".$$$" to the original file, then writes out the new, edited version.
<p>
The extension ($$$) could be a user-definable option.

This is the one missing feature that has kept PFE32 securely on my hard drive.

If you are planning to add this feature, please also add an option to enable/disable it.
And I have a habit of automatically, almost subconsciously hitting ctrl+s after each modification, so for me donho's version of the auto-backup would be a HDD-killer ;)

I second krzysui_rd's desire to keep it optional if implemented. If you want multiple backups but limited then I'd recommend using .$01, .$02, ... and then rotate the files on save. I also dont need the time stamp in the filename as its already on the file itself but it wouldn't hurt to have it as a preference option.

I second that.
Maybe it could even be improved upon by _also_ making an autobackup option for every so many minutes (configurable, of course).
I would like that too :)
last message was 1 year ago? Is there any progress for auto backup feature?
Don't you ever check the change log?
Or you use always an old version?
Don
Hmm...
I may do this feature on each save : but not on an interval time.
___fileName.ext.date.time
ex :
___fileName.ext.0520.031136
so all the modification are tracked
