Hello Guys,
In India we are a tad bit confused when it comes to beginning the work or executing the task.
oh wait it meant
we don’t know from where to begin.
So the first step is to save your work in dir, with valid details.
Purpose – My Proj
Why do you need conventions to organize your work?
Guys i am working on a proj for myself like i did with controller storage. so the files I created needs to be structured and organized.
Because i am not going to be working on just 5 or 10 files, there are going to be files, folders, stages, references, output, and i cannot keep naming them final_output, final_output2,………… I don’t want to remain confused like my fellows in the above gif.
So Lets for once and for all create a folder structure and move on with life.(i am not sure if that will happen lol)
So i stumbled across this guys blog for creating a folder structure for reference.
https://uxdesign.cc/a-systematic-approach-for-managing-project-folder-structures-4e2e553cad00
seriously top notch.
So I started to dig_deeper into the matter on google(of course) and came across some studies worth mentioning
University of Aberdeen
The University of Edinburgh
https://www.ed.ac.uk/records-management/guidance/records/practical-guidance/naming-conventions
Penn Library(recommended, latest update on conventions, and i am also going to follow this setup with slight tweaks)
https://guides.library.upenn.edu/datamgmt/fileorg
SIA(no not the Australian singer-songwriter)
Stanford University(without stanford we cannot complete the list)
you can search a lot of material on google regarding this more than i did feel free.
Prototype
Still using the tool only for myself, not using any Database. But is quite helpful to keep my work organized
Guys before i go further bragging about my incomplete tool
Screentogif is used to record the above gif below is the link(an open source tool)
Now about the tool
This tool is meant for people those who want to save their files in organized manner for any software
You can rename one file as well.
This tool is currently not connected to any DCC, still in the planning stage.
The size of the tool is more due to the package/modules being used
One can provide their own types like i did for myself in the tool–rig, model, etc.
Will keep you guys posted as, there’s lot of scope to learn.
All criticisms and feedback are welcome.
See you guys soon.
