I've also found that it is good for me to have a file for every day I work on a script because things I threw out last week have a way of being resurrected for whatever reason. So if I'm working on a script called "Big Deal Spec" every file regarding that project -- whether notes, script, contract, correspondence, starts with "BDS" -- for each day I work on it I start the day with BDS-2-22-13 -- as in the day I did that work -- if I'm working with a collaborator then I inject my initial into the file -- BDS-B-2-22-13 -- then comes the redline issue -- as notes from agent/manager/producer/whoever get processed it's important to be able to generate a redline for your editor/mgr etc. to look at to check the new changes -- towards the last stages of these revisions I might have to generate 3 or 4 redline scripts in a day -- so the script that started as BDS-2-22-13 - then got notes and became BDS--2-22-13A with the redline showing only those changes from the version the note giver read -- further notes = BDS-2-22-13B and the redline generated from running comparedoc on the A and B scripts. My huge regret at moving back to PC from MAC with MMSW is the redline feature doesn't really work on PC. Love Movie Magic otherwise. Filing is a whole other thing for me -- since we can search hard drives so easily it's secondary in my opinion to labelling.
