Peter,

You might want to try a nifty tool I've worked on to help make 3.0's script
editor work better for me.
altXray is a plugin for Rev 3.0. It works best with altPlugin Toolbar.

Thanks, Chipp. I actually downloaded it last week and have been trying it out. It's very handy -- I just have to get used to waiting to hold down my modifier keys until the mouse is actually over the control I'm thinking of. I found I have been in the habit of pressing command-option while moving the mouse to the control, and with AltXray that gives me the script of whatever random field or background image I happen to pass over....

I use your Archive plugin all the time -- being able to back up easily has saved my ass a few times. I modified your script so that the file names it uses look like:
PPdata.rev (08-08-29)01
PPdata.rev (08-09-04)01
PPdata.rev (08-09-11)01
PPdata.rev (08-09-14)01
PPdata.rev (08-09-14)02
-- that way the files appear in the finder in chronological order. What I do is archive whenever I make a modification (most of the time I remember), then clean out the archive file every now and then by moving the older archives to trash and keeping the most recent dozen or so, then I move the oldest of that bunch to a folder called "breadcrumbs" so I have a very long-term sampling of my versions over time.

Thanks for both plugins, they're terrific.
