Hi

I was creating backups of my project everyday, but I face something weird
note:
All my zips are on a server
I create zips from a project I have or I create the zip from windev itself

This is the thing

1. I extract all the files from my .zip
2. I Open my project from that extract zip
3. I see that my code from back then.
4. I do what I need to do to solve problems for production.
5. I close the project backup
6. Windev tell me that I need to save
7. I save the change (because why not)
8. I erase the backup and the zip from my pc

but what happend next?

1. I open my project like always
2. My principal project was change (for some reason)
4. I change everything that should be in first place. In the day I need to go back to my backup
5. I search my zip on my history of backups zips (not from the directory of windev)
6. I copy my zip and paste it on my pc
7. I extract all files from that zip on a directory
8. I don't have anything open on windev not even windev itself
9. I open windev
10. I open the project backup
11. It tell me to recompile
12. I choose not to recompile
13. It open everything but it show me the last code I type and not the code back then for some reason


Anyone Know what's going on?
There's a way to see the code back then?
Is it a bug from 23?

Please help!

Hi

I know why that happend

The code I was editing the path of the file wasn't on the same path of the project

That's why the code always have the last code I save

Everything works fine

And was a wrong direction of myself

Why the project have the path outside of the project well that's how the project was when they give it to me

Hello ARV,
why don't you use SCM with branches for this?

Hi

I will consider this for the future, I will investigate and see how it works
I imagine that PCSoft have documentation about the SCM

Thanks for the reply

Hi

I was searching about this and I found it really good

but I have some questions
I have my original project
This project I will create branches of the production version

but if the last production version have a bug and I need to fix it here's the thing I dont know

I know that If I change code and data base on my original project It could change the branch yes but

How do I open my branch and changed the code in that branch and then release a bug fix version?
What I mean?

I don't know how to open the branch and correct everything on the branch
Then when I fix it, I need to upload the change or in this case generate a new branch on the new version I have

How do I do that?

I know that I can alterate the original and from the original change all the branches I want but I want it to be the other way around, PC Soft say is possible but I don't know how to do it

Could you help me with this?

How do I do to have the exact same code of the last version of production to fix bugs

I know how to create branches and modify my original on the branches but imagen this

I change things on data base on my new version but in the meantime having this the client see a bug an report it, I search that same version the client have and open it, fix it and then that code I pass it on my original to have the exact same thing, How do I do this?

Hope I can make the idea clear
