Acerca de esta versión
Versión 2024.0.0.0, 15/04/2024
Updated for Revit 2024. Supports Revit 2019 - 2024.
You're doing Gods work where AutoDesk fails
Too bad development has stop.
For now, we can still use it by editing te xml file (see below), but one day, i suppose it won't work.
Anybody can take the project?
Yes it works with Editing XML file and copying folder under "Contents" folder and renaming the copy with respected version No of Revit.. if you want to use his "xml" syntaxis.
This is the addin I've been looking for but would need it in 2023.
Just edit file c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\Backup File Organizer.bundle\PackageContents.xml. Replace 2020 with 2022 for revit version only, not Backup File Organizer version.
Hello, can you tell me exactly what to change? I'm still using rvt 2020 sometimes. So mamybe i can change the "2017" text?
Components Description="2023" RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2023" SeriesMax="R2023" ComponentEntry AppName="Backup File Organizer" Version="2020.0.0.0" ModuleName="./Contents/2020/BackupOrganizer.addin" AppDescription="Backup File Organizer" 2023 was changed from 2020. Notice hat I left the Backup File Organizer as 2020. Instead of 2023, you should write the version of Revit you have. Also, you can copy the entire paragraph and change accordingly if you have more than one version of Revit.
I work with revit 2024. And it works the way you suggested. Thanks a lot. Ps:I have seen many basic features that Revit omits. It makes users really uncomfortable. And every time the Topics complain about it, many experts say it's a feature and that this is how revit works. Until one day, Revit updated the new version and some of these features were met LOL
Why did I follow your method, revit2023 does not work
Thank you. I followed your instructions exactly and I have the app working for Revit 2024 & 2025.
it would be great if we could choose the directory folder
Great add-in! Just need a 2021 version.
And a 2022 one.
I'm afraight it'won't come. The webside of the developer isn't there anymore. Someone should take over.
Excellent add on, It helps us keep only the working files in the project folder, but keeping the backups just in case we need to revert to historic data.
Well Done
I have used this tool for all my Revit versions. Really tidy's up the project/family folder from all the backup file clutter into a single backup folder.
I have followed the steps of editing the .xml fiel as explained above and it works perfectly. Thanks for the tip.
Perhaps Im OCD but having all those backup files in the parent dircetory drives me NUTS. Actually it has cost me work before when i mistakenly worked on a backup file for a full day and then struggles to recoconcle the work i had done with the correct file.
This app keeps all those pesky backups nice and out of site in their own dedicated folder. Thanks!
This is GREAT...thank you for updating to a newer version. Now its easy to organize backup file
This app worked perfectly. I echo the previous comment - hoping that a 2020 version will be released soon!
Hey guys! Was using this app in 2019! Are you planning on updating for 2020?
Cheers!
Many thank to the developer. This functionality should be built in into the revit!
Excellent
I was looking for a long time for this option
Thank you
