How about adding back up versions for the File Back up functionality?

[Arthur]

I think it makes sense to add one more possibility to the File Backup feature - the ability to make up to n (e.g. 3) historical back up files (not just one file) between save commands.

This way a user would be able to revert to a particular point in time of file editing.

The idea is good, I already thought about this but in more sofisticated form of the repository. Of course best would be to store only deltas. This would be ligthweight version control system.. Something like this has Eclipse.

Do not know it is cost to spent time for such intermediate solution to save 3 (N) backup copies or do something more intelligent. Because even N copies would not help. Specially when you do saves frequently. Then you need to think about time intervals, where to store all of this etc...

So, request is in the list, but do not know when I would have time to implement this.

Something more intelligent is surely welcome as oppose to a "poor's man" workaround!

Besides, just stumbled onto http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/

Is that possible to integrate HE with a stripped down/simplified version of the above?

I have already answered this to you as example of source safe system;)

This is shell extension. You can use it in file explorer clicking on file.
