SCRIPT Collection: Basic Versioning and Auto Backup Prompt

VERSION: 0.1

RELEASE-DATE:  Sunday 10th, February, 2011

BRIEF:

Two hook scripts that run on File Open, and Typeset (success or failure)
 with a prompt offering to make a backup (with date and time in file
  name) in a location of your choosing.  

Standard locations are listed, and there is an option to choose a new
 backup location. Each distinct new save location is stored, and
  presented as an option during further uses of the script(s).

After a custom location is first used, the last used folder will appear
 in the top of the drop down on successive script runs.

Additionally there is a manually run script, for creating a version
 backup at any time.

INSTALL:

Requires File read and write to be turned on in TeXworks Preferences for
 Scripting.

(The zip completely replaces any version released here previously.
 
If you installed one, delete its whole directory first.)

Allow decompression to `use folder names' (very important). 
Unzip to  your TeXworks script directory (or any directory under it) - Use  Menu>>Scripting/Scripting TeXworks/ Show Script Folder to open the
  Scirpts' main folder.

Change the Alt key combination in manualVersionSave.js if you want/need
 to avoid conflicts with any existing scripts. 

Then use Tw Menu item, Scripts/Scripting TeXworks/Reload Scripts List.


USAGE:

Will operate automatically prompting to do a backup on  on File Open and
 Typesetting, use Cancel to not do a backup otherwise choose from drop
  down box.
  
To manually do a Versioning/Backup use menu item:


"Manual Version/Progress Copy Save"

  - shortcut 'M'anual 'V'ersion 'S'ave - while 
    holding down the Alt key for all letters: 
                                               MVS

BACKGROUND:

Needed some local simple versioning control, in between commits to
 outside versioning. 

Working on Windows I use  http://winmerge.org/ WinMerge to use these
 backup files to amend my current document.
