| Nov 14, 2018 at 16:43 | comment | added | Bondt | Thanks! Read about that, too, and thought that might be useful, but it's only works for two versions. In my experience it's sometimes useful to be able to show (and argue on certain elements of) different versions, so I think I'll just go with the hash-named-version previews. :-) | |

| Nov 13, 2018 at 13:52 | comment | added | Bondt | You're right about that. Your script is nice, but it still creates a full copy of whatever I'm working on. Git should be able to compress the history, right? From my rude testing this was pretty good (1PSD, 6 versions, 177MB rather than 320MB). So I'm thinking of the following workflow: Save, check in to GIT, copy hash, quick export and name it like the hash. That way I have a preview of each version and know what commit belongs to it. It's not beautiful, but it's luckily not very common. I just hoped there was something out there for my need. :-) | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 22:42 | comment | added | Joonas | In case git doesn't do what you want, I have actually made a script that does pretty much exactly what you were asking about. You can find it here if you're interested: github.com/joonaspaakko/Photoshop-file-versions-script (I made some changes to it just before writing this comment) | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 19:29 | comment | added | Joonas | In the words of Aladdin; "Not so fast, Jafar"... Git seems like a somewhat obvious solution at first glance, but my understanding is that it isn't. Folio is one of the very few apps I know that is built for this exact purpose. Using a regular Git GUI for this purpose seems doable at first, but the lack of proper image file preview makes it pretty unusable. So much so that I would claim a regular folder structure would serve you way better. It's quite cumbersome when you have to checkout each commit and perhaps open them in PS to see what they look like unless you find a similar app for Windows | |
