I could not see anything requested specific to this (but may have missed it in my search).
I’m wondering if there could be an ‘auto snapshot’ feature added where I flag a document to auto-snap every time I start editing in the document, per session (so each time I close & open scrivener is a new session). Perhaps also have an option of ‘per day’ or ‘per session’.
In my writing with libre office, I always copy the file I am writing on to a new version, every time I edit. I have found this to be invaluable as I have been able to go back and find things I had written, but perhaps deleted thinking I wouldn’t want it, and then later decided I did want it elsewhere.
The problem is the overt action of snapshoting is almost too much effort. I have plenty of disk space, and would have no issue if I could flag certain sections to auto-snap. Wonderfully helpful.
I am using Linux/Fedora20, so I know this is down the development path. Thanks for supporting Linux! Great product!
