Script Tracker

Easily maintain text copies of stack scripts.

Script Tracker allows you to select a stack and export copies of all scripts contained within the stack. Every time an export is made, it will also calculate and store a diff between the previous version and the one being saved. It will also detect external changes to the text files and import them if newer. There is an option to have the stack watch the script export folder and automatically import scripts as they are changed. This should allow editing in an external editor while working on the UI elements within the IDE.

Requires LC 9 (uses new version of [files(pFolder, "detailed")] and [messagedigest]) but could be adapted for earlier versions.
