[IDEA] Simple revision control / autobackup for EEPROMS

[sgofferj]

Hi,

based on Kilrah's workflow, I'd like to suggest additional features for c9x.

- automatically backup EEPROM files [✓]
- path for backup-files configurable in preferences [✓]
- configurable in preferences (never backup, backup on flashing new firmware, backup on flashing new firmware and on flashing new EEPROM)
- meaningful backup-file names (at least date and time)
- additional information saved in c9x config or separate journal file

- then MAYBE later, additional "go back to EEPROM"-menu/button which opens a select window to choose from older EEPROM versions.

Opinions?

-Stefan

Edit:
Better structured, added marks for existent functionality

If you check in companion9x preferences.

The auto backup option is there. You just need to enable it.

[Kilrah]

Already there! Look in the preferences
OK, maybe not as complete.

Personally never used it, for all my data backups I prefer the good old manual method.
It's always the day you need a backup that you notice the automated thing has been failing for a month.

Ok, I forgot the [✓]'s in the list . Sometimes I suck at writing down my thoughts in a structured manner . My focus was more like on going into the direction of a simple RCS.
