Your scheme could conflict if 2 people have version 8 and create a version 9. You may think, I know I’ll use a time stamp! But the file system already keeps track of the file modified time, so why encode it in the filename? For file versioning in business without collaborative editing, you can keep the same filename and use check-in and checkout scheme, with a revision history. For working by yourself and keeping track of the file, the windows and Mac file systems will also keep a copy of previous versions that you can restore so keeping around the copies as separate files has no benefit. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/view-and-restore-past-versions-of-documents-mh40710/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/view-and-restore-pa... https://www.minitool.com/news/enable-previous-versions-windows-10.html https://www.minitool.com/news/enable-previous-versions-windo...
