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.
Actually I really meant to suggest a menu of ideas. I don't think Open Office can or should try to address all my suggestions. I listed them only as examples of things past the 'all files are unrelated to one another' approach in use today. It is sort of like the question, 'what do you want to be when you grow up; Doctor, Lawyer, Plumber, ...?' Open Office could take any one of my suggestions or perhaps a keener mind might propose a better option than I have listed but I think Open Office does need to consider where it might go next?
I went to school with a Doug St Clair in Roanoke Va.
I'll bet he was an exceptional person. :)
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.
Naming files or directories by date is best done YYYYMMDD because I don't think any OS is smart enough to sort dates in any fashion except alphabetical/ASCII at least for English.
As for the four digit year I expect to be dead before the next century and my attitude is screw those bastards who made it.
