I think we should add a function similar to xEdit in which any time you save
your plugin, the previous state of it is saved as it is before touching
anything.
We could create an Snip History folder next to the exe, and before the plugin
being edited is saved, just copy the current status to the folder with a its
file name appended with date and time.

This function exists, but may not occur when you have indicated. Also I would
like the backup folder to be where the executable it located.

I didn't notice your other note for a history log. Can issue38 be merged
with this one?

If no edit occurs then it should not save a file.

I also noticed that the backup file is saved where the original plugin is and I
think there is another .esp file saved where the executable is. I'd like the
History Log, the .bak files, and the .esp/.esm files to be in separate folders.
I'd like the folders to be easily accessed from the File menu please.

Describe the desired look and feel.
I'd like to have a history log for the changes made to the plugin saved in a
separate folder. I would like to have an option to close the session, or close
the log file without closing the plugins.
Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement
The history log could be used for version tracking but may have other benefits
I can't think of at the moment.
What is the expected output?
Saves a log file with a Julian Date plus a truncated Plugin Name no longer then
30-40 chars. Having the ability to close the log file could be used for
testing to indicate that at some point the plugin worked and a new plugin was
introduced.
This also could be used for version tracking once certain plugins have been
modified, and a new plugin is brought into Snip
Please provide any additional information below.
I would like the history folder to be where the executable it located.
You should be able to view the Log in Snip opening in another window that is
superimposed over Snip, and can be sent to the background or foreground as
needed.
