Packages backup #141

Closed matteofg closed 1 year ago

matteofg commented 1 year ago

I just updated the packages of my TeXLive 2023 distribution. Unfortunately, now, I am having problems with running my source codes and I don't know which package is causing the problem.

I would like to suggest that you add, in the action menu, the Backup Selected Packages and Backup All Packages items.

That is not possible, because as far as I know, the underlying tlmgr tool does not offer that capability. If you have automatic backups enabled, previous versions of updated packages will appear in the Backups tab. For details, review the Help book.
