Always thought modern oses shoukd have an on machine document management system. If vendors would implement this into their office applications we would nearly be there
- Someone 5y agoApple has had a similar feature for years in its OS. Its office suite makes use of it. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/recover-word-pages-mac-documents/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/recover-word-pages-mac-documen...: “Every time you save changes to a document, iWork archives a copy that you can recover at a later date.” Time Machine and Dropbox (only in the paid version, I think) also keep copies, but (important for documents that consist of many files on disk) can’t really know which files ‘belong together’ isn a series of file writes. Both, of course, also potentially are data leaks waiting to happen. Not only can’t you be sure that a Save overwrites an old document, you can’t even be sure that the program you’re using is giving the system that opportunity. On the plus side, these make it impossible to accidentally send out a file with (partial) content from an old version.
