SmartVersion is a file archiving software that centralizes multiple versions of files such as Word, Excel, and HTML. Its functionality allows storage of different file versions in one location, decreasing hard disk space use and internet bandwidth needs while sharing files through the web.
SmartVersion is a software that offers a centralized location to archive different versions of one file for their fast retrieval. This tool is especially useful for people who need to save their work in incremental steps. The software is perfect for programmers keeping track of different versions of their software at the various stages, business people working on proposals, graphic designers who make frequent adjustments to their art, writers experimenting with different ideas for manuscripts, and webmasters experimenting with different styles of webpages.
Traditionally, when users work on files that often need to be changed, they either constantly overwrite previous versions so they work on a single file only, or save each version as a separate file. However, overwriting seems to be a convenient and resource-saving method of working until they need to retrieve previous versions of their work. They can do this by either undoing all their work or starting everything from scratch. It creates unnecessary extra files that waste valuable hard disk space.
SmartVersion provides a practical alternative by keeping track of subsequent versions of files saved as patches of the original file. As a landscape designer, for example, you may want to use SmartVersion to create several versions of your landscape project with proposed changes that can be emailed to your client for review without messing up the original file. Only the first version of the file has the size of the original project. Then, as both parties move along with the project, only SmartVersion files containing changes are emailed. Therefore the size of the file is small and it can be easily emailed even over a slow internet connection.
After specifying the location of the first version of this patch, you extract the latest version with all the changes. SmartVersion comes with both Console and Gui versions for WinXP to Win10 and Server. Console for Osx and Linux. With this software, you can eliminate the hassle of sorting through duplicative files while saving a notable amount of hard drive space.
