I actually looked up the help file - buttomos,yeah,
FileHamster is what you are looking for. Some suggestions for you:
- If you want to take notes while working on the file, instead of waiting until you make a save. Use the Notes Window Plugin.
- Note that you can tweak the settings to change how your files are saved. For example you can keep the last X number of saves. But note that at each version you can override that by choosing to lock that version so that it won't be autodeleted.

.The only way I am going to stop worrying (or worry less) is if other people do it for me...or should I say, do their own fair share of worrying that they are supposed to be doing, so I don't have to do it for them.-app103 (October 05, 2007, 10:39 PM)

I use FileHamster and I just want to point out that you can set a delay so that it will not save new versions if they occur within n amount of hours:mins:seconds of each other. This way if you save a file 15 times a minute, but they're not really important changes, you can set it to 00:01:00 and it will only save if it's been a full minute since the last revision.
Sorry if this was mentioned before. I started skimming through the last few posts.-Deozaan (October 05, 2007, 02:34 PM)
I had had a look at their site but only now notice they have a forum & a wiki
my fear of too many versions is unnecessary:

)| Have you ever wanted to see a report of everything that changed in FileHamster over the last few days? Would you like to perform a mass restoration on all files to a particular time or date, or protect the latest versions of many files all at once? With the Report Plugin, you will be able to easily isolate changes in any folder, multiple folders, or your entire library. To help maximize your search, the ReportPlugin features extensive time-span controls that allow you to select any node in the Watch Tree and instantly see a live report for a specific day or date range. |

You sure that's only $12? Looks like $12,000 to me.-Deozaan (October 05, 2007, 02:40 PM)
filehamster is only used when i'm working on something, the current project. i use it just in case i need to revert back to an older version of a file - filehamster has automatically saved the different versions for me. so it's the automation thing that is the most useful to me. when designing web graphics i'll do many variations of an image - with filehamster i don't have to manually rename the file or move a previous version to another location. i just create the new image and it drops right into place in the web page design - if i change my mind about the graphic i just bring back a previous version using filehamster. no messing about renaming, etc. after i've completed the project i'll dismiss most of what filehamster what saving for me - lots of the files will be almost duplicates or too similar to bother keeping.--nudone (October 05, 2007, 11:45 AM)
text file a project like a web site design will have plenty of things done to it that i'm sure to forget about. easy to forget how something was made to work in an awkward browser or whatever. so, i'll make a note of it all - if i used a tip from a book i'll state the book and page number - it it was a website then i might copy and paste the information and url from the site . they are all just little things to remind me of how and why something was done. and i'll also include a todo list of what needs finishing, etc, etc.--nudone (October 05, 2007, 11:45 AM)
I work on a directory named "current". When i want to save the current state, i go one directory up, copy "current" to "copy of current", create a new folder with the current date/time and move both the "copy of current" and the other "date/time" folder inside that new one.
The advantage of this is that i only keep 2 folders at the root (the current and the last backup), and i can still quickly browse through the older copies-jgpaiva (October 05, 2007, 10:30 AM)

-... with a defragmenter such as PerfectDisc which organises your files on the basis of how often they change even defragmenting a whole disc effectively becomes only defragmenting a few files over a period of time as the files that don't change are blocked together. This effectively means that incremental backups will be larger than if you didn't defrag but the increase in size won't be huge or counter productive.-Carol Haynes (October 04, 2007, 04:48 PM)
I use the Jet Toolbar to launch my programs and browsers and find that having it at the top is the most convienient way to access it. I also have it so it appears when moused over. I find it to be very quick and convenient.-deberett (October 03, 2007, 11:07 AM)

with 2GB of ram & for some reason the pagefile wasnt being accessed (I believe that was the problem)
I couldnt go into hibernation with FF + 40tabs open.
dunno did it say "not enough resources" or "not enough virtual resources to .... your API"

but it's sorted now...-tomos (October 02, 2007, 04:05 AM)

Does any one know a way to move the whole user profile to a different partition-Carol Haynes (October 02, 2007, 03:12 PM)
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236621 (Windows 2000 & 2003) and an article based on this KB but adapted to work for Windows XP @ http://www.dennislaz...ocumentsandsettings/
2. Another guide... Storing Windows profiles on a different partition-PhilB66 (October 02, 2007, 10:55 PM)
| 13. Do a cold boot of your computer. 14. Use the "mover" account again. 15. Go through processes 8 until 11.* |
)Imho there isn't much reason to have your pagefile on a separate disk - ideally, it shouldn't be used very much... stuff more RAM in your PC if it is.-f0dder (October 02, 2007, 03:42 AM)

hibernation till I got rid of the one on C..)
Shrinking an NTFS filesystem and its partition is a safe operation for GParted, but moving a large partition has proven to be fatal in too many cases. Moving large partitions with GParted also proves to be slower than just backing up the data and creating a new partition instead. GParted is a great program, but its move feature is too buggy to be trusted.
Ok thanks.I had that idea too.
Actually, I should discuss my partitioning strategy here.
I have a OS partition, a data partition, a music partition and 2 HDs. Right now, OS and Data are in the same HD. These are the two most accessed partitions.
The idea is to put the music partition together with the OS partition on one HD and then the Data partition (pretty accessed) in the other HD... this should give me some faster boot times (well, not boot, but the entire HD activity frenzy once you log in) and general a faster-feeling system.
I'm not sure how much speed improvements I should expect or if it's worth the trouble. Any idea about this? these are 2 160 Gb 5200rpm drives (laptop).-urlwolf (September 30, 2007, 11:26 AM)
Also, any other recommendations for faster HD access overall? Is it true that you should leave 20% of disk space empty? I have a defragmenter running periodically already.-urlwolf (September 30, 2007, 11:26 AM)
