is there an addon that modifies file saving behavior so that new files can get unique names based upon the first X characters of text or the date of creation, and thus permit quick saving of all otherwise unnamed files?

with tabbed note creation, i find myself creating large multitudes of new files for every unexplored idea.
unfortunately, i'm kind of a scatterbrain and i'm usually too exhausted by the end of brainstorming to come up with appropriate names (one idea just flows into another which flows into another)… an addon like i've described would save quite a lot of time.

such an addon would also permit easily identifiable automatic backups.

what i'm imagining is, notepad++ could autosave all unnamed, opened files to a designated 'backup sessions' location so that in the event of a crash, such work is not lost. once the user opts to manually save such files, these files would then be copied to the default directory and further changes would be autosaved as .bak files.

if someone would like to create this, i suggest using the 6 or 8 character format for listing dates -so that july 6rh 2011 will be displayed as 110706 or 20110706.
