And create in Project separate folder for backup.

I did not try Exit Backup plugin.
It sounds interesting.

Something like this, but with a GUI which allows user to set path (create, re(name) etc.) for different projects.

ProjectBackup plugin idea:

The plugin has 2 menu items:
1) Copy default "ProjectBackup.ini" into current project root.
2) Open/Edit "ProjectBackup.ini" from current project root.

Plugin is triggered when leaving a Project (Either switching to another Project or closing editor)
If a "ProjectBackup.ini" is found in Project root folder, it will be read/processed by plugin and backup created.

The "ProjectBackup.ini" could look something like this:

Code: Select all

[ProjectBackup]
; BackupName special markers
; %project% = name of project
; %date%    = current date (yy-mm-dd)
; %time%    = current time (hh.mm.ss)

BackupPath=c:\temp\
BackupName=%project%_%date%
Example: If the project is named "MyProject" using the above "ProjectBackup.ini", it would backup the project to "c:\temp\" and name each backup file like "MyProject_2018-07-04.zip"

To disable backup you just rename or delete the "ProjectBackup.ini" file.

----------

If anyone has ideas for improvement (or a complete different way this could be done), please let me know before I start coding the plugin. ;)
