I was looking for an easy, convenient way to take milestone snapshots of all the documents in my manuscript. The only way I could figure out how was to expand all the files & folders, select them all, and then take a named snapshot. I was also considering the feature that lets you make use of manual saves to take snapshots of modified files.
First request: Add two snapshot menu items “Take Snapshot of selection + children” and “Take Snapshot of selection + children With Title”, or similar implementation. If I select the Draft folder, it takes snapshots of all its children even though you can create a snapshot of the Draft folder itself.
Secondly, I was wondering what happens after I engage manual saves to create snapshots in the following sequence of events…
Modify documents a, b and c.
Manual Save
modify c
close project
open project
modify a
Manual Save.
Will the latest changes in document c trigger a snapshot when the last manual save is invoked? If not, is there a way to shore up that gap (like taking snapshots of modified documents on project close)?
I went specifically looking for this issue.
What I would like to see is to be able to take a snapshot of a sub tree. For example the following is what I am imagining.
Click on a folder for example for a chapter.
Go to Documents -> Snapshots and find “Take snapshot of tree” and “Take snapshot of tree with title”
Than in the Snapshot directory there would be one directory for that snapshot, and in the index.xml several entries with the titles of each of the sections.
