Hello,
Some of what we are doing for the new version on this front.
First of all, the top-level project file is not in the project directory
like all the other user XML files. That by itself will make things
easier.
For archival purposes it was suggested that this project directory should
have the following form:
project
memops/
ccp/
ccpnmr/
data/
So the first three sub-directories are as now, and the last is where the
data files will be copied.
It sounds like this might be something some people might want to do when
using Analysis so we will have to add this functionality in even for
non-archival purposes. (Of course this could lead to the same data file
being copied over and over again so could result in disk bloat.)
The tweak about remembering where the data was originally is an
interesting idea. This would probably be Analysis-specific and if the
original data is missing (or moved) we would probably just print a warning
and leave it at that.
We will have a facility for automatically backing up the project directory
into a gzipped tar file. This will optionally include the used reference
data and the data files (but that bit hasn't been done yet so when I
finish doing it I'll not better which options work and which don't).
Tim has mentioned the possibility of having these gzipped tar files exist
in a sequence (so number 1, 2, ...). Of course that would take even more
disk space so definitely not everyone will want to do that.
