File versioning with Google Desktop
September 6th, 2006Google Operating System has a good post on “10 Great Uses For Google Desktop” (thanks to Lifehacker). I have been using it for some time and it has it’s plusses and minuses. Particularly it is a bit clumsy and can use up a lot of resources. However, I find the browser caching and file “versioning” (caching really) features very useful. Simply launch Desktop Search and find the Web page or document that you would like to see history on and then click on the cached link. It does not replace a real versioning application, but is fantastic for desktop purposes. For that reason (and the hope that upgrades will have more magical features) I will keep on using it.
