Sure, if I was organized

JohnWho · 05-23-2010, 07:46 AM

Yeah, me too -

if I could just find an "organize as" function!

There are revision manager plugins and programs for Visual Studio that will save an audit trail of every version so you can roll back and see what you did.

As for me, every time I undertake a new revision of something, I Save As and give it a slightly different name.

In the case of Visual Studio, I'd exit Visual Studio, right-click the entire project folder, Ctrl-Drag it and make a clone of it. That way there would be folders of 11D, 11E, 11F, etc. so you can always go back and rebuild.

Anywho. After 9 years I know it's gonna get done how it's gonna get done.

Yes, Edgar uses TurtleHG, and I have to pack everything into that format when I send or receive it from him. But I don't understand the system myself, and it's way too late to learn anything new.

Are you saying you don't have a copy of any of the MA3 .zip files? .... They are all here, should you want any.... All 50/60 of them!!!

Jim Sachs · 05-23-2010, 09:53 AM

Those are the finished compiled versions. The source code consists of many constantly-changing files. I suppose Edgar has copies of the older ones, but it would be difficult to figure out what had changed.

On my system on the main MA "Settings" screen,

it shows:

Version: U527.3.0.4745

It shows the same on the "About" screen.

Perhaps the "3.0" in it relates to the MA 3.0, but the rest?

That's a stamp which is put on by the build system each time the program is compiled. Generally, the higher the number the newer the version, but it also depends on whether it was compiled on my computer or Edgar's. The breakdown is: Year U (2010), Month 5, Day 27, Version 3.0, Build 4745.

JohnWho · 06-04-2010, 08:05 PM

OK, thanks.

OK, then if I understand, the current downloadable MA3.1 (it shows as 3.1 in the "statistics"display) should read:

U615.3.1.5489

but it does not.

It reads U615.3.0.5489

Minor "glitch" - maybe it can be corrected in the "install" version?
