Does anyone know of any notepad++ plugin that saves a version of whatever I’m working on periodically? Ideally, it would save many versions with the automatic version number and the date in the title, and perhaps store them in a zipped archive to save space.
Does something like this exist already, or shold I attempt to write such a plugin myself?
Thanks,
Cameron
P.S. It should be freeware or (preferably) open-source.
Settings > Preferences > Backup tab > Click Verbose Backup
This will time stamp a copy of your file every time you save.
Update:
AutoSave allows to automatically save the currently open files based on a timer schedule (default is 1 min) and/or upon the application losing focus. The plugin offers a couple of options to save the current (or all the files), selecting only the named ones, accessible through a menu.

Update2: BEWARE: If the Custom Backup Directory you set to is deleted/moved, then the backups won’t happen! No error is thrown notifying you of the dead link!
