Hi,
I am using geany editor for LAMP coding. I want to automatically create backup file while working in this editor. In case of the editor "kate" there is an option to create a backup file with suffix ~ at the time of saving the file. I want a similar option in geany. But I am not finding any such option in this file. So can any one please help me in configuring geany to create backup file automatically on saving a file?

Best Regards ...
Pankaj Kumar

If you prefer Kate to do your editing, then just install the KDE files from a mirror. I know many times I prefer kedit or kwrite for such things, so I'm glad they are available from our excellent KDE maintainer.

Go to menu Tools/Plugin manager. Enable the Save actions plugin and, hit the Preferences key, go to Backup copy tab, check Enable.

George,
It appears that "Save action" plugin is available on ZW Gnome geany, but not on ZW standard geany/
Rich

I just tried it on a fresh Zenwalk standard 5.4beta installation and it is there.

I realized right after I posted that it didn't make any sense, so I looked in to it. Apparently geany wasn't installed on my system, a least according to netpkg. Even though geany was installed netpkg was showing that it was not install so therefore, at least I think, it never reported that I need to update to the latest version, i.e 0.15. After installing the updated package, the "Save action" plugin is there. Sorry about the false alarm.
