Automatically insert time/date last modified into notepad++

Question

How do I automatically insert the time & date last modified into a Notepad++ document? I have found a question about automatically inserting the current time, but it appears to be about a much earlier version and the upvoted answers no longer work. Ideally I'd like not to have to remember to do this at the end of every editing session. . .

Solution

TextFX allows you to do this manually and you can assign a keyboard shortcut for it as well. See the answers to this question for details.

Plugin Central has a couple of plugins you could try for automatic date/time insertion:

• Insertion Version 2.1 (ANSI) by Don HO: Insertion of current file name and date & time. Auto-close the html/xml tag.

• Log plugin Version 1.0 (Unicode) by Nicholas Heckman: Log plugin allows Notepad++ has [sic] one of MS Notepad basic features : Append the date/time at the end of file after a file is opened in Notepad++, if file begins with ".LOG".

Do you know if "TextFX Characters" the same as TextFX?

Yes, it's the same TextFX plugin, whose current version seems to be 0.2.6 as per the Plugin Manager.
