move to history - Peter Blomberg - 2025-09-28
The specifications for a move to file is brief and doesn't state explicitly whether one should include part or all of the history and in which file. In an earlier thread Magnus Forsberg instructed:
Quote:XXXXX.dat
Description = "~Moved to XXXXXb"
Author = Me
Content = "1 16 0 0 0 {rotation matrix} XXXXXb.dat" (the rotation matrix restores the old orientation)
XXXXXb.dat
Description = Same as before
Author = Same as before
History line = "corrected orientation by creating b replacement file" + any minor corrections
Content = all previous content + any minor corrections
If I understand correctly, the "b" file should contain all of the previous history. What history goes into the file I authored?

I think I remember writing this, but could you give us a link to the post?
I don't remember the context.

All of the old history is placed in the "b" file, and then you create a new file, with the old number, that doesn't have any history.
The old number becomes a new file without history.

Thanks for the clarification!
