Extend the backup functionality to inculde files under wled-ip/edit #3212

Open dosipod opened 1 year ago

dosipod commented 1 year ago

I think the ability to take a backup is important and good enough as it is . But at the moment new features has being added to wled that is not covered by the current backup functionality . Ledmaps , json animation ..etc will all have to be manually backed up . It would be nice if we can dump wled/edit content as one file for backup and then restore the same way . Not asking for an api to also do that but that would also be nice .

Just to clarify I am doing that purely to enhance wled and we do I not have any real life use case to backup that frequently ( well we do a lot of destructive tests and it will make our life a bit easier ) . If that is will not be considered then we could script it from our side so not the end of the world as the firmware backup script is a good example

Until this is implemented in UI (perhaps not so easy) you can use a simple wled-ip/ledmap.json, wled-ip/2d-gap.json, etc to open and then save those files from a browser.

Yeah that is the way I backup now , I have a folder with each MCUs content . I was thinking to modify this script https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/blob/main/tools/multi-update.sh so instead of an update it will do download , so no worries you may close or keep as a reminder

You might have the scripts already :) https://discord.com/channels/473448917040758787/473450515385024533/1005724880043507774

Indeed I have, but those are mine only as they are a bit involved. Not yet ready for primetime.

Basicaly they are extensions of the update scripts.
