I am looking at using the savevers plugin. I don't think it does exactly what I am looking for.
Why don't you set savevers_max to 999999999 ? Do you plan to have more than 999999999 versions ? (if I underdtand your request right). Otherwise, your request sounds strange. It sounds like this: "I want to set savevers_max to 3, and I want savevers to ignore this". It's like "I want vim to go to line 10 when I tell him to go to line 5". Why would you want to set savevers_max to wrong value instead of desired value (9999999) in the first place ? Yakov
I want the old version of my file to be saved regardless of what savevers_max is set to. If I set savevers_max to three and I save for the fourth time, I want the oldest, saved version of the file to be deleted and I want my latest last-version to be saved. My files would go from this... -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 226 Sep 20 11:43 test.txt -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 102 Sep 20 11:12 test.txt.0001.clean -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 106 Sep 20 11:14 test.txt.0002.clean -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 132 Sep 20 11:22 test.txt.0003.clean To this... -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 226 Sep 20 11:43 test.txt -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 106 Sep 20 11:14 test.txt.0002.clean -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 132 Sep 20 11:22 test.txt.0003.clean -rw-r----- 1 eralston admin 148 Sep 20 11:34 test.txt.0004.clean Anyway to do this? Anybody already hacked savevers to do this? Or have some clever mappings to handle this? A related question... is there a way to use a single backup directory for all files? I think it would need to have a way to make all file names unique. So that saving /dir1/a.txt wouldn't clobber over /dir2/a.txt. Thanks, Bill
