It’s been a while since the last update of this blog. I shall be active again.

Alike the real world, there are many types of management styles. I will share with you a neat and brilliant way of managing my projects. The trick is to create separate data files.

Cloning .BMD5 files

To create a separate data file, I copy and paste my existing “data.bmd5” file and save it as a different filename e.g. “MyPanCake.bmd5″ file. The next time when I want to bookmark my pan cake recipes, I just double-click on the data file and BMD5 will launch it.

I have multiple data files (“MyCookies.bmd5″, “MyTiramisu.bmd5″, “MyCheeseCakes.bmd5″, and so forth) stored in a separate folder.

I also have a shortcut created for this folder. So that every time I want to open a project, I will double-click the shortcut to open this folder, and double click on the data file (E.g. MyTiramisu.bmd5″) that I would like to use and BMD5 will launch automatically.

Run as Administrator

A tip for friends using Windows Vista or Windows 7. I was previously using BMD5 on Windows XP which automatically associate .bmd5 files with BMD5. However, in Windows 7 (applicable to Vista too), this does not happen automatically. You need to run BMD5 in admin mode so that BMD5 can register the .bmd5 file type to itself.

To do so, right click on EdwinSoft.BookmarkingDemon.exe shortcut and choose “Run as administrator”. Once that is done, restart BMD5. Next time, you can simply double-click on .bmd5 file to open them in BMD5.

Backup Backup & More Backup!

How to backup your precious work in BMD5? For me, i simply copy all my .bmd5 data files to an external harddisk. I suggest you do that too. When bad things happen, they happen together. Remember! BACKUP!
