Library backups
« on: August 03, 2005, 06:17:43 pm »
Quick and simple, can you change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd? It save me bags of time trying to find the most recent one.

Thanks.

Oh Yes, second that Big Time!  I always forget to post this, but every time I have to look for a backup it's totally frustrating; it would make so much sense to switch it around as sherbs suggests...

One for me too.
I posted this request in the wishlist for version 12 too.

Finding the most recent one can simply be done (in the File > Library > Restore > "open" window) by:
1. clicking the rightmost button and select details
2. scrolling the "open" window to the right
3. sorting the backup files in decreasing date order (click twice on the header of the date column)
4. select the topmost entry (= the most recent one) and open it

Or am I completely missing the point?

The backups would automatically be in the correct order with yyyy-mm-dd format.

ie, steps 1 to 4 would not be necessary!  ;)

My default folder settings are always date descending so I never have to do steps 1-4. The latest library backup is always at the top of the dialog.

But the dialog box doesn't open with the default folder settings - on my computer anyway; it opens with the windows 'list' setting, no matter what the default folder setting in explorer.  How'd you get it to work like that?  (I'm using XP Pro SP2)
