A bit of personal opinion here: this can be done completely outside of LibreOffice, in a program-agnostic way that might be more useful since it could be applied to other stuff. A script/program set to monitor a directory/file, and create a new backup with timestamp every time the file change would suit that purpose. Simply activate the auto-save feature of your favorite tool and it can take advantage of it. Of course, it could also be done *in* LibreOffice/any tool, and provide better integration (no need to close/reopen file for example). But I'm cautious when too many unrelated features find their way in a program... I might write some lightweight python script to do just that, for fun :) and to make everyone happy, I'll add a settings where you can limit the amount of backup to keep ;) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
