[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Save Actions plugin: Add an option to keep only the N last backups (#1491)

[elextr]

It would require enumerating the backup directory to find all the files with the specific pattern `filename.ext.date/time` to find the oldest to delete.  That probably won't be noticed when the backup is on a local SSD but may have an effect if the backups are on networked file servers.  It might be possible to enumerate the backups once on startup so long as the user never deletes the backups themselves.

Anyhow somebody has to do it, pull requests are welcome.
