You're almost talking a spreadsheet choices based menu to be able to select personal combinations of various multiple formats plus then to be able to Save your particular unique set of choices to re-use later, not select all over again. That's way out of my league. Hmm, that's what I have Open Office for, stuff out of my league.
I went to school with a Doug St Clair in Roanoke Va. But yes, exactly, by all means to Save into subdirectories that are Dated at least by the Year. Just be sure and use all 4 numbers so when we turn over the next century. ----- Original Message ----- From: Douglas St.Clair To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:55 PM Subject: Re: [discuss] Re: Too Much Hard Drive Clunk The current organization of user files essentially assumes they are all unrelated. However, they aren't. Micro$oft's project structure is a move in the right direction allowing you to organize files by project. But project's isn't the only logical structure. For example I would like to organize files by version and project. In other words I might have a report that's issued quarterly. That might be represented logically as one project (the entire year) with four versions (one per quarter). Of course then there is support for large documents where the structure is page > chapter > book > multiple volumes. There is precious little help for people doing this sort of work. Nor is their support for teams. Finally there are requirements on companies like Sarbanes-Oxley impacting records retention. There are requirements for protecting intellectual property. There are the HIPAA laws that impact medical records. All of these requirements call out for solutions beyond the premise that each file is independent.
