That does it - thanks for the prompt reply.

I'm setting up a new machine from scratch (to leave accumulated glitches behind...), have installed QRecall, and would like to "recreate" the actions w/o having to re-enter them manually. Is there a file or a file I can copy over to accomplish this? It wasn't obvious to me when looking through a list of files with names including "QRecall"...

thanks.

Cool. Thanks for the quick response.

For my purposes, having to manually and individually tell QRecall to exclude each file I don't want backed is cumbersome - ALL of the relevant files are large *.mov files generated by Motion 5 that are subsequently transcoded into the much smaller *.mp4, *.webm, *.ogv and *.flv movie files that are deployed.

No surprise - my immediate thought was "gee, it sure would be nice if I could just tell QRecall to ignore all files matching a regular expression." I realize there is a potentially expensive efficiency issue, but still... Or perhaps something simpler, like shell file matching expressions?

Just a thought...

For my particular purposes, a comment for an entire layer would be more useful - I'm using QRecall to checkpoint significant changes in a set of bus route maps and movies that have to be updated 2 or three times a year as the schedule for the ferry our community buses meet changes. Typically each checkpoint reflects changes to a substantial number of files. I *could* put a comment summarizing the changes reflected in a given checkpoint into a "Comments" file at the root of the file system subtree in question, but that would be a bit cumbersome because I'd have to recall the file to read it. Unless you implemented Quick Look for archive entries

. Hmm. Would comments attached to individual files be visible in the Inspector window? That would work just fine for me...

Which is more-or-less to say that what I'm hoping for is something analogous to the commit note provided by subversion.

I'd like to add my vote for this - it's about the only thing that occurred to me as I evaluated QRecall. (Just bought a license

.)
