Version history for each file in file manager, just like Windows' Previous Version #296
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, it seems that, to recover an old version of a file, I have to browse from a snapshot's top directory. It is not convenient to navigate to a file deep in the structure, and especially when I don't know which snapshot contains the version of the file I want so I have to search multiple snapshots.
Describe the solution you'd like
On Windows, when Windows Backup is enabled, you can just right-click any file on the file manager (Windows File Explorer) and see the list of the file's previous versions (the snapshot versions of the file in the backups). Maybe Timeshift could have a Nemo extension that does similar thing. Basically, it retrieves old versions of that file from all available Timeshift snapshots and shows that in the list with dates.
