It's more convenient if kate creates director to put backup file on saving. I needs manually make folder in advance now. Example1----- Kate backup configuration Backup file prefix: kate/Backup/History_ Edited file: C:/Programs/src/module1/ab.c Expected behavior => kate creates C:/Programs/src/module1/kate/Backup/ automatically, then save backup file as C:/Programs/src/module1/kate/Backup/History_ab.c Example2----- Kate backup configuration Backup file prefix: kate/Backup_%{Date:yyyy}/History_ Backup file suffix: .%{Date:MMdd}/%{Time:HHmmss}.bak Expected behavior => kate creates C:/Programs/src/module1/kate/Backup_yyyy/History_ab.c.MMdd/ automatically, then save backup file as C:/Programs/src/module1/kate/Backup_yyyy/History_ab.c.MMdd/HHmmss.bak
I don't think that is such a often used feature that it requires this amount of flexibility. If you think otherwise, patches to add this are welcome, but I don't see that the team will spend work on that. https://kate-editor.org/post/2020/2020-07-18-contributing-via-gitlab-merge-requests/
