File versioning

Something I was reading in another Drawng reminded me that we need an
automatic file versioning system. When implemented, i.e turned ON, would
invoke an incrementing of 'nnn' each time Ctrl-S was executed.

So original file called

filename.cdr.

CTRL-S saves as filename_nnn.cdr, result

filename_001.cdr etc. each time

until versioning is turned OFF.

Of course 'nnn' should be user definable in terms of number of digits,
starting number, a prefix such as

filename_todaysdate_nnn.cdr etc.

Also Under the File menu or similar, the ability to purge versions when a
file is 'finished' with one click of the mouse rather than having to resort
to finding them all in explorer.

  • Agreed, Hywel. I always recommend iterative saves. Corel Painter has
    that feature now, but I think it's the first program I've used that did
    it automatically.
