Re: Diff 4D Write Documents

Kirk: My current thinking is to store the entire document but a PDF is harder to futz with and it *would* save a bit of disk space. I'm leaning toward just setting up a folder for each quote and dropping a changed document in it. Disk space is copious and free and I don't need "chain of custody"

Re: Diff 4D Write Documents

Chuck: My thinking, at this point, is to store a modified document in its entirety - disk space on the server is significant and cheap. No problem setting up a folder hierarchy and moving documents around. The big open issue is how much automation to do a diff and review the deltas? Per Kirk's

Re: Diff 4D Write Documents

I would not generate on demand, as you have no control re size of document. I might store differences between current version and previous with new table where doc is stored I would also store doc in record and not outside of data unless you are willing to create doc mgt system as well

Re: Diff 4D Write Documents

Kirk: That's a sound approach. In addition to the hash, my thinking is to store changed documents as versions of the original ("reference") document instead overwriting the original. Next step is to find an app that will do a diff that I can display for the end user. -- Douglas von Roeder

Re: Diff 4D Write Documents

Doug, I'd just grab the text of the document and hash it. MD5 is fine since it's not about security. Save the hash. If any text is changed the hash will change. Since it's in a record you can test for the modified record/ changed hash. On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 10:49 AM, Douglas von Roeder via
