Making Library Backups with Non-Default Filenames Doesn't Work Right
« on: July 24, 2014, 05:56:44 pm »
Longstanding Bug:

If you make a Library Backup, and you browse and select a different folder, this works fine.  However, if you type in a custom filename (which the dialog lets you do), it borks itself all up and you get a folder with the name you selected (or sometimes a portion of it) and then inside the folder you get either a ZIP file with a tiny partial filename, or a file with no extension at all.

The ZIP files it makes do work, I think, but the filename saving logic has a bug in there.

It pissed me off (hopefully for the last time) today.

I can reproduce this.  Hopefully it'll be an easy fix...

Probably forgot a semicolon somewhere.  Those are always "easy" right?   ;)

Hah.  Anyhow, it happens on OSX too.
