Timestamp included in filename of Library backups?
« on: October 06, 2018, 04:06:52 am »
Now: "MC Library Backup (Main Library - 2018-10-06).zip"

Request: "MC Library Backup (Main Library - 2018-10-06 12-45).zip" Hours + minutes added, or some variation

Wouldn't hurt if this was automatically added to the MC Library Backup Saving Algorithm, right?

For those moments when you make several huge chunks of changes during the course of one day. Yes, I am aware of the highly complicated and time consuming workaround that involves manually renaming the files  ;)

Well... that is what we all do. There is no other option :)

It's just a small "quality of life" request, if it could be easily implemented. Like stretching a hand out for the "Library Backup Timestamp Injection" lever and pull it. One handed. If not, no big deal of course.

I'll add this to the next build.

The history:
Changed: When making a library backup, the time is appended after the date.

Awesome. This is one small change that will make a big difference for me as well.

Thanks!
