Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is ImportantWhy Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important

Having a consistent method for organizing files is important for boosting productivity and keeping your Mac organized. Proper organization of files not only helps you quickly locate them, but is also an essential component in achieving an efficient workflow. By making it a habit to sort your files, you can greatly improve your productivity and keep your Mac clutter-free.

Efficiently managing files can be a challenging and time-consuming task, especially when you have a large number of files to control. However, with MyQuickMac Neo, file management has become an effortless process. This innovative app leverages AI to help you automatically sort files stored in your Mac, streamlining non-destructive file sorting and management.

Aside from its impressive functionality, MyQuickMac Neo offers a visually stunning and unique design that features a user-friendly interface, ensuring that sorting files is remarkably easy for users, enhancing their overall experience.

MyQuickMac Neo makes the laborious task of manual sorting files a thing of the past, as it delivers a more productive and modern workflow. Furthermore, the app is capable of processing a large volume of files, if necessary, even up to tens of thousands. If you’re a busy person and need a dependable and hassle-free solution to your file management needs, then MyQuickMac Neo can be a one-stop solution for you.

Avoid Data Loss: Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important

Even with the advanced technology of MyQuickMac Neo, it’s still possible to make undesired changes or mistakes when sorting files. Maybe you sorted the wrong files, or perhaps you just changed your mind about how you want to organize your files.

This is why non-destructive file sorting is extremely important when it comes to organizing files on your Mac. It is a technique that preserves the original order and location of your files, even after you sort your files, and they are moved to differing locations. Non-destructive file sorting allows you to easily restore the previous structure of your files without risking data loss. It can also save disk space and improve performance by avoiding unnecessary file copying.

MyQuickMac Neo offers fully non-destructive file sorting; it has a powerful “Rollback” feature that lets you undo any file sorting that you have done with the app. Rollback allows you to revert any sorting operation, whether it was a single file, a batch operation, or an entire directory, to ensure that users can easily recover any mistakenly sorted files — and it is one of the reasons why MyQuickMac Neo is an amazing app for file sorting. It gives you peace of mind and confidence that you can always undo any changes that you have made with MyQuickMac Neo, without losing any data, directory structure, or wasting any time. In this article, we will show you how to use the Rollback feature in more detail and give you some tips and tricks on how to make the most of it.

How to use the Rollback in MyQuickMac Neo

All files you sort in MyQuickMac Neo — in whatever mode they have been sorted — are automatically saved by the Rollback. It means that you can revert the sorting of files if it was completed in any operation mode of MyQuickMac Neo, such as Unique Scan, Custom Scan, or Auto Scan.

Open the main menu and click on “Rollback”

To revert the sorting of files via Rollback, open the main menu and press “Rollback”. A new window will appear where you will be able to see the Snapshots — this is how MyQuickMac Neo captures all sorted files and saves their state. For the user’s convenience, each Snapshot has a date and the total amount of sorted files. Click on any snapshot to proceed with further actions.

A new window will appear, where you can see a full list of sorted files — it is dynamically updated and represents the current state of sorted files. Each Snapshot may have three categories of sorted files, that are displayed adaptively:

  • Files eligible for undoing sorting
  • Files eligible for redoing sorting
  • Files not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting

Files eligible for undoing sorting

 This convenient table displays the “original” location of the file and its “target” path. Select any files via your preferred method to undo them.

This category represents the group of files, in which you can undo the sorting of them. You can easily revert the sorting of these files and move them back to their original locations. You can undo any files sorted by MyQuickMac Neo, not only from any place from your Mac, but even if they were sorted on removable devices, such as flash drives, external drives, or even your smartphone.

Press on the “Undo sorting of selected files” button to revert the sorting changes.

Files eligible for redoing sorting

MyQuickMac Neo’s Rollback is so powerful, that you can revert the undo operation itself. If you have reverted the sorting of your files accidentally, you can easily sort them again. Similarly to the previous category, MyQuickMac Neo also offers full support for removable devices.

Files not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting

The last category means that MyQuickMac Neo’s Rollback can’t restore or revert the sorting of these files. Rollback may not offer the option to restore the file only if it can’t be found at the previously saved path, meaning that something in the filename or directory name has been changed, or the file was moved manually. This can happen when:

  • You have renamed a file or its original/target folder.
  • You have deleted a file or its original/target folder.
  • When the removable device is not accessible anymore or its name was changed.

To conclude, files may not be eligible for undoing or redoing sorting only if their paths are not valid anymore. In most cases, you can easily fix this issue by checking if the original or target folders of the file exist, and have the same name as at the movement of sorting.

How to undo the file sorting by using MyQuickMac Neo’s Rollback

If you wish to undo the sorting of files, simply check them: you can quickly select the desired files by clicking on its checkbox, by using the “select all” option, or by holding down the Shift key and clicking on two items to select everything in between them.

After selecting the files for undo, simply press the “Undo sorting” button to begin the rollback process. After the process is completed, the Snapshot window will automatically update its contents to display the newest information. All selected files will be moved back to their original locations, offering you a powerful and easy, non-destructive sorting experience.

How to redo the sorting of the files in Rollback

Select the files whose sorting you wish to redo. All selection methods described previously can be used to quickly select the necessary files.

Press the “Redo sorting” button. A new screen will appear, whose interface is actually a Custom Scan configuration window — an amazing and powerful feature of MyQuickMac Neo that makes it an outstanding tool to help you quickly organize your files.

If Rollback has placed certain files in the “not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting” category, you can still fix it, simply follow the steps below:

  1. In the Snapshot window, scroll down and examine the files that are not eligible for undo.
  2. You will see two paths — the original location of the file, and its target sorting path.
  3. First, make sure that both of these directories exist: try opening the Finder to make sure both original and target folders exist. If they do not, simply create them by using your favorite method of creating new folders.
  4. If you wish to undo the sorting of the file, make sure the “target” path has the file you wish to roll back. Make sure the name of that file is correct.
  5. If you wish to redo the sorting of the file, make sure the “original” path has the file you wish to sort again. Make sure the name of that file is correct.
  6. After ensuring that both paths exist and the file names are the same, go back to the Rollback window, and re-open the Snapshot again. If you have followed the steps correctly, files will now be eligible for the undo or redo.
