It would be nice to have an automatic save of generations for the .tex file when F5 is pressed.
Add an box to "configure" that the user could specify a folder to save the current work for back up.
When F5 is pressed by the user , an addition file would be saved with a time stamp in the file name.
Like:
currentfilename.txt.yyyy.mm.dd.timestamp.tex
first.tex.2017.08.13.031555AM.tex
first.tex.2017.08.13.061755AM.tex
first.tex.2017.08.14.091555PM.tex
It would be easy to sort by the file name to look for revisions.
I was typing early in the AM , and I created some very convulted words. The next day I went back , re-read my words , look at the data , fixed the words. But I lost the convluted (bad) words ; there were several mixed messages and a few slivers of truth ; It would have been nice to perserve them. Thanks.

that what svn-support is.
Maybe you should take a look into svn/subversion (a version control system) and how to use it.
Hence we will not implement a poor man's version management.
As Jan pointed out, you sould really consider SVN. In case, you still want to pursue this against our recommendation, you'll have to write a script yourself (no support from us):

And Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is why out of my league. I am just suing poor old microsoft windows.
install tortoisesvn , give the location of svn.exe in options/commands/svn and activate option/svn/auto checkin after save.
I believe windows user can do that too.
Gee wiz , there is a tool for everything. I will try this.
Thanks , you can close the issue I opened. Thanks
