This is a nice (hidden) feature but unfortunately in my case it does not help as my file has been modified in the time frame where I do not have any previous full backups.

[snip] This possibility is much more interesting - at least for my use - than "option 5". And I think it ought to be much more emphasised in the manual. -- Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
