Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a Copy directory with all the files, but I would have an additional directory where I would make my edit, and later I would synchronize it with the Copy folder.
Yeah, Terisa. That's what made me nervous too.

So I'm trying to visualize your suggestion. Have the Copy directory with all the files, but then have an exact duplicate of the Copy folder where I would make the edit and then copy and paste that (is that what you mean by synchronize?) into the Copy directory?

I don't know. I tried it on a small scale. It worked when I added something to a text file, but when I deleted a photo, the photo still showed up in the Copy folder.

Maybe I should just keep everything in the Copy folder and anything I think is super important I can save to Google Drive or a USB flash drive.

Thanks.
