I've been making a lot of changes to FFT lately and sometime I forget what changes I've made to my most recent patch.

I thought it would be cool (and probably easy) if when saving your patch to a folder, a text file (.txt) would also be created including the changes within that pacth.  i.e. name your patch New Patch 1.fftpatch so the text file would be called New Patch 1.txt

You could organize it per tab i.e.

Abilities
- Brave Slash
  - JP Cost - was (150) now (250)
  - CT - was (3) now (0)
- JP Boost
  - JP Cost - was (250) now (75)

Items
- Materia Blade
  - Weapon Power - was (10) now (20)

etc.


I know that anything that has been adjusted is highlighted in blue which I definitely appreciate but it is very time consuming to click on every item to see what was changed.

What do you think?

You should probably put this in melonhead's topic where he has the updates to FFT Patcher, since he's the one who would implement the change.

I think someone requested this once before, and I started working on it but then quit for some reason. It's a good idea, and a recent change I've made to the way differences are detected should make it easier to implement.

never mind looks like melonhead browses many of the other topics as well.
