IDEA: List files Added or Removed and changes to plain txt files in given time
siddhu.iam:
It would be good to create a software that would keep a list of new files added or old files deleted and changes made to plain text files - over a user specified time and in a set of user specified directories. Providing start and stop buttons for creating the log would also be useful. I think it is possible with some command lines, but they are very confusing and hard to remember. Even if there are some tiny apps, I think they don't list the changes to plain text files in the given directory.
rsatrioadi:
It can be done with version control system, especially with decentralized ones (e.g. Git or Mercurial), probably plus a script to do commits whenever a change (file created/deleted/edited) is made.

So can I hope someone can soon make an easy to use software for that??????

My ideal backup/versioning programme would do what you want - easily.
But I think it doesnt exist (not in the "easily" form anyways).
FWIW I'm currently using FileHamster, but that doesnt do exactly what you want either.

If my assumption that you are using Windows is true, then I'm sorry that I cannot help you now. I'm 400 miles away from my Windows machine, and I won't be there probably for another month. :redface:
It' still a good idea, though, and I do hope someone can make this happen. :D
