I've got a waypoint sorter... it came included with my smarty-brains

No, really, I think I never sent the wrong WP to anyone. And all I do is rename them and put them in different folders. I have something like this:
1) An archive folder with 1000's of PB 2.5 WPs by all kinds of people and in all kinds of quality. I use them to playtest a map a bit, get a hang of it and to see where choke points are.
2) My "active" WP folder (cstrike\addons\podbot\wptdefault), which contains all the WP files I'm currently working at. I only copy WPs into that folder if (a) I didn't have any before or (b) if I'm 200% sure that I want to replace a crappy one I have with a WP some good WPer like SF made. The ones I'm working at are no more than 3 at a time, and I don't work with different parallel versions. I overwrite them as I tweak them further and further, no problem there.
3) My "finished" folder, where I copy every WP I made, tweaked and tested.
That's it. Should I be really in doubt and there are two of my WPs for one & the same map (which never happens), I check dates - the newer, the better it must be.

Usually I work like this:
A) Get any Wp for the map, check out the map.
B) See that the WP sucks (it usually does, 90% I'd say)
[ B2) ] If it doesn't suck, tweak camp flags to make it PB2.6mm-comp. => D
C) Rename it to xxxxOLD.pwf and start making a good one
D) Finish & test, until it's perfect, then copy into "finished" folder.
And then, even if I overwrote my entire wptdefault folder (which I'd NEVER do), nothing would happen.
You guys, however, seem to have various versions (all made by you) for one and the same map somewhere, but why? Beats me. ???
