a little automatic dir maintenance ala' pine
« on: Feb 21st, 2004, 10:16am »

Hi,
 
It's easy to pile up large numbers of little sketches, many of which I like to keep around for at least a while. The mail reader pine has some nice housekeeping features that one could adapt. Here are two:
 
1. As often as desired Processing moves current sketches into a sub-folder labeled, for example, "040201-040228".
 
This would be set in properties ("cleanup_int_days = 30;") and would be checked each time you start up Processing. IMO this would only affect sketches that still have their default name ("sketch_040201a", etc.).
 
2. I sometimes end up with blank sketches; it would be nice to have these also removed as part of this housekeeping. ("delete_empty_sketches = true;").
