Roadmap

Version 0.1 (in progress)

• RASP UI / plugin to Reaper
• Auto version from RASP UI
• Increment version number when versioning

Version 0.2 (planned)

• Safe versioning: increment version and save automatically using Reaper's native save
• Native/Auto mode selection (Auto = fully automated, Native = opens Reaper's Save As dialog)
• Conflict handling when version folder already exists (overwrite / increment / do nothing)
• Archive current project versions to a local drive
• UI for archiving with configurable "versions to keep" count

Version 0.3 (planned)

• Archive current project to Backblaze B2 cloud storage
• Restore project from Backblaze B2 archive

Version 0.4 (planned)

• Configuration for Reaper media folder path
• Find all Reaper projects from configured media folder
• Select which projects to archive and how many versions to keep per project

Future

• Additional cloud storage destinations (Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Storj)
