Loggin Text File Changes After Saving

Does anyone know about a plugin for notepad++ or any tool that is capable of logging the changes of a text file? Simply like version control systems (SVN or GIT) but the difference is that I would like to log the changes on save without the need to commit after each change.

Thanks, TeFa

Never heard of something like that in Notepad++. But maybe Autosave2 plugin will suit you.

Go to Plugins > Plugin Manager > Autosave2 and install it. Follows its own description:

Allows you to automatically save your Notepad++ text with a timestamp.

This plugin does create new files (ie. copies) of the currently opened files. The original files will not be saved automatically. (So basically, it is more a Autocopy rather than a Autosave)

Using a timer schedule and timestamps in the newly created filenames you will have a history of changed files like this:

ToDo.txt.2013-04-19 10.13.09
ToDo.txt.2013-04-19 10.14.09
ToDo.txt.2013-04-19 10.15.09
