File Change Log
« on: September 09, 2012, 07:57 AM »
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.

This one was just updated. It claims to enable launching an app on an event. That may be the hook to run a text file diff app. I haven't tried it myself though.
