SLV-copy

Github : BlueStier/SLV-copy

SLV-copy allows :

• perform automatic file saves when opening them in VScode.
• to make a renamed copy (manual save) via the palette or the right mouse click.
• to clean up the backup folder according to certain parameters.

Process :

1. Auto save :
   • When opening VScode, the file present in the text editor is automatically saved in the directory specified according to its initial directory.
   • Each time a new file is opened, the backup is performed on it.
2. Manual save :
   • Allows you to rename the backup file with a comment.
3. Clean up backup folder :
   • The cleaning command operates in 2 stages :
     • First : Cleanup will delete all auto backup files older than n months depending on the setting.
     • Then : Cleanup deletes manual backup files keeping the last n backup (regardless of creation date) depending on the parameter.
