just save current file under filename_date_time.xx
The `save actions` plugin already does the backup save, so this is to add a manual activation (menu/keybinding) for that.
I enabled it, is it automatic ?
Id like a backup function for just the current file but I will investigate this. thanks
The Save Actions plugin can save the current file into a backup location whenever the current file is saved. For details, see http://geany.org/manual/#save-actions.
We could add a keybinding and/or menu item to trigger the backup function. Though I wonder if it would bring any benefit to the automatic backup on file save?
Ive been trying the save backup file plugin and it doesnt work all the time, I make a change and save to a file in my dir to be backed up and no copy is created in the backup directory.
Just a "save as backup" next to the save, save as items would be very convenient, instead of doing save as -> different name -> save -> then open the file before namechange.

What plugin settings are you using? When doesn't it work, never, sometimes, and if sometimes under what conditions does it fail? Seems to work reliably for me.
Ok now it seems to work.
having to option to add the filetype at the end of the filename after %Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S, would be useful so it will be a recognised filetype.
And is there anything interesting in `Help->Debug Messages`?
True. Should be easy to implement. PRs welcome.
I appreciate your efforts geany is my fav editor
adding option to not ask for input after f5 would help a lot (closing the php script immediately)
