Utility or technique for swapping files quickly in Windows
- by foraidt
I frequently need to swap one file with another, without overwriting the original.
Let's say there are two files, foo_new.dll and foo.dll.
I usually rename them the follwing way:
foo.dll - foo_old.dll,
foo_new.dll - foo.dll,
[do something with replaced file],
foo.dll - foo_new.dll,
foo_old.dll - foo.dll.
This is ok for a single file to swap but it becomes tedious when swapping multiple files at once.
Is there a Windows (7 and preferrably XP) utility or a technique that simplifies this task and works well when swapping multiple files?
I'd prefer to be able to use it from within FreeCommander but Windows Explorer would be ok, too.
