Digital Archive Mess

[user237428934]

that's how picasa works too, it doesn't re-copy. However, since I don't like to rely on individual programs, I'd export my edited images to another data store, so assuming iview has any edit features, it would be a 2x + storage factor.

I realize you can possibly backup the database of data changes, etc., only, but then you're relying on iview. Not something I personally want to do.

How do you handle this today? Do you keep all modified versions of a file? Then it's not worse than today.

yes i do

yes i do

new programs wouldn't be "worse" but would take time and storage and costs to test them all out and retain the changes any of them make, and store them in a program agnostic archive, the way i do now.
