Btw, some programs use a reverse way of dealing with revisions. They rotate the existent files, so the newest version of the file is always non-postfixed.<br><br>Example:<br><br>Before:<br>file.kra # 05.01.11<br>file~1.kra # 04.01.11<br>
file~2.kra # 03.01.11<br><br>After:<br>file.kra # 06.01.11<br>file~1.kra # 05.01.11<br>file~2.kra # 04.01.11<br>
file~3.kra # 03.01.11<br><br>That is just an idea. No insisting on it. I'm not sure about the pros and cons.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM, JL VT <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pentalis@gmail.com">pentalis@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Incremental Version entry in the File menu.<br>
<br>
Operation:<br>
--When clicked, a file called foo.bar is saved as foo_001.bar.<br>
--If the file was already called foo_001.bar, it is saved as<br>
foo_002.bar, and so on.<br>
--If a file with the new name already exists, a letter is added to the<br>
incremental version, for example, foo_001a.bar. Incrementations<br>
preserve this letter, for example the next save incremental will save<br>
it as foo_002b.bar.<br>
--If the user manually used an incremental version scheme between 2<br>
and 4 numbers, for example foo_01.bar or foo_1029.bar, it will be<br>
respected, saving a foo_02.bar and foo_1030.bar file respectively.<br>
--The command will never ask the user to confirm to save a file (it is<br>
meant to save time), and by the principle of least surprise, it will<br>
also never overwrite an already-existing file.<br>
--If the algorithm reaches its end searching for alternative names<br>
(exhausts options going all the way up to a "z" letter, as in<br>
foo_009z.bar, it will show the user an error asking to save the file<br>
manually with an adequate name).<br>
<br>
The question I have is:<br>
<br>
What would be a good default shortcut for this feature?,<br>
<br>
since it's a feature meant to save time, it should have a default<br>
shortcut. But I'm actually completely unfamiliar with the shortcuts we<br>
use and I think artists have a better idea of what would be good.<br>
<br>
I also CC'd Calligra-devel to inform them of the feature and hopefully<br>
catch a couple suggestions (also, if there's interest to make Save<br>
Incremental Version Calligra-wide, it's not hard to relocate).<br>
