Storage of application specific profiles correlating to document versions
First Claim
1. An application specific profile storage and retrieval system for a computer system, wherein the computer system includes a software application that creates a version of a file and a corresponding application specific profile associated with the file version, the system comprising:
- multiple storage media; and
at least one storage management module, wherein the at least one storage management module is configured to manage storage of application specific profiles and configured to manage storage of corresponding files among the multiple storage media, wherein the at least one storage management module stores the application specific profiles at separate locations from the corresponding files and wherein an application specific profile may be retrieved separately from a corresponding file;
a processor for operating the software application in the computer system;
wherein the software application provides for storage and retrieval of the file and the corresponding application specific profile wherein the corresponding application specific profile is used by the software application for at least a purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application;
wherein the multiple storage media are communicatively coupled to the processor; and
wherein the at least one storage management module distributes stored files and corresponding profiles among the multiple storage media according to predetermined patterns, wherein at least one of the predetermined patterns includes storing of a file at a separate location from its corresponding application specific profile.

Abstract
A computer system that includes a processor for operating a software application in the computer system. The software application provides for creation, storage, and retrieval of a file, the file having a corresponding profile that the software application uses for at least the purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application. Also included is a plurality of storage media that are communicatively coupled to the processor. A storage management module distributes stored files and their accompanying profiles among the plurality of storage media according to predetermined patterns. One of such predetermined patterns is separate storage of a file and the file'"'"'s corresponding profile.

9. A method for storage and retrieval in a computer system comprising:
-
creating multiple versions of a file using a software application; creating an application specific profile corresponding to a version of the file, wherein the application specific profile is used by the software application for at least the purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application, a new profile being created at least each time the file is saved; sending the file, with the software application, to a storage management module that manages storage of the file and storage of the application specific profile; storing the file and the application specific profile to separate storage locations in the computer system; requesting for the retrieval of the file with the software application such that the storage management module retrieves the file and the application specific profile as though the file and its application specific profile were located in a single location; and formatting the software application in accordance with the retrieved application specific profile prior to display of the file with the software application. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A system for storage and retrieval in a computer system comprising:
-
means for creating multiple versions of a file using a software application; means for creating an application specific profile corresponding to a version of the file, wherein the application specific profile is used by the software application for at least the purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application, wherein a new profile is created at least each time the file is saved; means for sending the file, with the software application, to storage management means for managing storage of the file and storage of the application specific profile; means for storing the file and the application specific profile to separate storage locations in the computer system; means for requesting for the retrieval of the file with the software application such that the storage management means retrieves the file and the application specific profile as though the file and its application specific profile were located in a single location; and means for formatting the software application in accordance with the retrieved application specific profile prior to display of the file with the software application.
