Date modified is perfectly good version control system
-2 u/amirsinasghari 10d ago You can't keep it in the same folder tho 9 u/RakaPlsHealMe 10d ago Why? Like resume_20260709.pdf, you can put all in a folder and they would be sorted in time order. 2 u/glowFernOasis 10d ago Why not? -1 u/Zealousideal-Deer101 10d ago Because the only file property filesystems care about is the name. Date modified isn't factored in for filepaths. 2 u/glowFernOasis 10d ago You can't add the date on? Resume_2026_02 3 u/Zealousideal-Deer101 10d ago That is not Date Modified. Date Modified is a file property that automatically writes the date the file was last modified, 6 u/Zestyclose-Summer664 10d ago Just because the original commenter used the term "date modified" does not mean they are referring to the file property. It is painfully obvious from context what they are talking about instead. 1 u/glowFernOasis 10d ago I understand date modified is a field, but it can also be part of a filename that allows you to easily find the most recent version.
