General Software Discussion / keeping/saving cloned files
« Last post by tomos on September 08, 2006, 09:04 AM »Sounds like some type of genetic zoo 
does anyone know if theres a way to keep cloned copies of a file (in Dopus you can have a virtual copy* but i want a hard copy)
Say I could clone a file & place it in two different folders, then if i work on & save a file from one folder I want it to update automatically** in the other. (They would be on the same drive)
Don't know will the following help or hinder your understanding, but sure here goes:
I'm working on drawings that I get in mixed batches (they are of archaeological sites in different counties) which eventually have to be filed according to what county they're from.
I work on them in the "Batch" folder (cause thats how they will initially have to be delivered)
but
I keep loosing track of whether I have the most recent version of the file in the "Final" folder (which is by county name).
*As i say I'm aware this can be done with virtual folders but for a couple of reasons cloned copies would be better for me. (mainly my backup procedure)
**Backup software wouldnt really be feasible for this - I'd have a different path for each file
Also I could just look at changing "the [filing] system" (from within!)

) allow me to make a few desktops with different icons, say graphics icons, tools, maybe a desktop for my partner who uses my computer occasionally.
