      I know it's a dry subject but working as a programmer I know the importance of file organization and version control software. As such I've written a introduction to file organization and version/source control as it works for me in my personal SU work:

      • File Organization & Version Control [part 1]: Introduction
      • File Organization & Version Control [part 2]: File Locations
      • File Organization & Version Control [part 3]: What is Version Control?
      • File Organization & Version Control [part 4]: Installing and Setting Up TortoiseSVN
      • File Organization & Version Control [part 5]: Daily Use

      I hope this is useful to someone else - I am interested to hear what version control systems others are using - also, for a future tutorial, what asset management systems are people using?

        Hi Martin,

        thanks so much for introducing us to such detailed account of how you stay organized. Your blog made for a great read and excellent introduction to file management. I hope this post gets a mention on the 'Daily Cacthup' as it is highly informative.

        Regards
        Rich

          martin,

          thanks for such a detailed explanation.

          for what it is worth, i included an image of the kind of organization i use. for every project there is a folder that holds a group of subfolders, each one related to each kind of file related to the project. some are imput files, others are output files.

          besides numbering different versions of a file, i also put the date on them.

          as for file synchronization, i use dropbox (very easy to use, free and offers other capabilities to boot). as you can see, i am on mac.
