SmartRevision Context menu
Overview:
When working on a project do you find yourself continuously saving your document under different names to have previous revisions and drafts available?
Would you like your file to auto-save under different revision names?
If so, SmartRevision is for you.
Using a unique file name format – DOC NAME r000 draft 00.indd – and saving previous revisions in a subfolder (RS_Archive) of the document’s folder.
A context menu item under File, SmartRevision installs 3 menu items:
- Update Revision: Updates the revision number of the current file
- Update Draft: Updates the Draft number of the current file
- Start/Stop Auto-revision: Also lets you set the time interval (in minutes) for the auto-revision update.
It also installs a Update Book Draft in the Book menu. This feature is not 100% functional but works in most cases.
