Jackie - I've added this script to my larger development projects:
make clone (while developing)
#Based on Michele Olson's FMP list suggestion 2005-10-18
Set Variable [ $clone; Value:Substitute ( Substitute ( Substitute (
GetAsText ( Get ( CurrentTimeStamp ) ) ; ":" ; "" ) ; "-" ; "" ) ; "
" ; "_" )
& Get ( FileName ) & ".fp7" ]
Save a Copy as [ "file:clones/$clone" ]
[ clone (no records) ]
In the file options dialogue, a script "closing actions" is chosen to
run on file closure. That script calls the "make clone" script only
if I (the developer) am the user; if it's the end-user, it doesn't
get called. Obviously a folder called "clones" must pre-exist before
runing the script.
This may not have saved you any time in the problem you quoted
(depending on how much work you do between each closing of the file),
but is a very useful aid when you find (as I occasionally do) that
you've gone a long way down a blind alley and you need to back up
several steps and try a different approach.
Thanks again to Michele for the original suggestion that I based this on.
regards
Rowland
