Storage of application specific profiles correlating to document versions
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one storage management module,wherein the at least one storage management module is configured to manage storage of application specific profiles and is configured to manage storage of corresponding files among multiple storage media,wherein the at least one storage management module distributes the application specific profiles to storage locations of the application specific profiles, andwherein the storage locations of the application specific profiles are separate from storage locations of the corresponding files; and
a processor for operating a software application;
wherein the software application provides for storage and retrieval of the file and the corresponding application specific profile from the separate storage locations,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 application specific profiles are generated by the software application during operation of the software application, andwherein each application specific profile includes user-specific settings used by the software application during editing of each file that corresponds to an 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.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for a method for data storage and retrieval in a computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving an application specific profile corresponding to a version of a file to be saved, storing the file at a first location in the computer system; storing the application specific profile at a second location in the computer system, wherein the second location is different from the first location; receiving a request for the retrieval of the file such that retrieval of the file and the application specific profile is as though the file and its application specific profile were located in a single location; providing the requested file; and providing the application specific profile before display of the file, wherein the application specific profile is generated by a software application during operation of the software application, and wherein the application specific profile includes user-specific settings used by the software application during editing of the file that corresponds to the application specific profile. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system, comprising:
-
means for receiving an application specific profile corresponding to a version of a file to be saved, means for storing the file at a first location in the computer system; means for storing the application specific profile at a second location in the computer system, wherein the second location is different from the first location; means for receiving a request for the retrieval of the file such that retrieval of the file and the application specific profile is as though the file and its application specific profile were located in a single location; means for providing the requested file; and means for providing the application specific profile before display of the file, wherein the application specific profiles are generated by the software application during operation of the software application, and wherein each application specific profile includes user-specific settings used by the software application during editing of each file that corresponds to an application specific profile. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
