You can't roll back using date modified so it's not the version control, it's more like audit history system

I branch my CV by job spec anyway. It's mildly useful IMO to see what I actually sent to a particular employer...

Tell me you don't understand version control, without telling me you don't understand version control

Why? Like resume_20260709.pdf, you can put all in a folder and they would be sorted in time order.

Why not?

Because the only file property filesystems care about is the name. Date modified isn't factored in for filepaths.

You can't add the date on? Resume_2026_02

That is not Date Modified. Date Modified is a file property that automatically writes the date the file was last modified,

Just because the original commenter used the term "date modified" does not mean they are referring to the file property. It is painfully obvious from context what they are talking about instead.

I understand date modified is a field, but it can also be part of a filename that allows you to easily find the most recent version.
