Your Computer Tip of the Day: Use "Save As" and Version your Documents

<< < (2/3) > >>

mouser:
stay away from cvs.

but as mwb says, the tortoise svn is actually really nice in that you can run it entirely on your local pc.
though running it with an offsite server has the benefit of a nice offsite safe backup.

Jammo the OrganizedFellow:
for my file versioning (i do a little hobby webdev), so I need to keep track of file versions. but have not looked at Subversion, although it looks promising!

i use TClockEx (http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/tclockex/index.htm) for my taskbar clock.
it has this neat feature: (my own configuration) i clock on it, and it copies the following to my clipboard:
061104-011122
Year. Month. Day. - Hour.Minute.Second.
makes it so much easier when manually searching my file directory for a previous version.

i do that file method only when saving a big change. not all file saves.

that's a nice idea.

lanux128:
in Word, you can also use F12 to invoke the 'Save As' dialog. comes in handy all the time. :up:
