Homogenise filenames of manual exports and automatic backups #129

Closed MrChocolatine closed 3 weeks ago

Checklist

Which apps should have this feature?

No response

Feature description

Preamble

Originally, the context of this feature request was for the Contact app: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Contacts/issues/89

I do not use all the Fossify applications, but the context of this request can/should be applied to all Fossify applications.

Currently

The filenames of automatic backup use the following format:

Contacts_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.vcf

and the filenames of manual export use the following format:

contacts_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.vcf

Feature request

Could you please update both format so only one is used? This one is compact and fine:

Contacts_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.vcf

Or, eventually, like other applications do, use one format but with one "marker" to differentiate them, for instance:

// From automatic backup

Auto_Contacts_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.vcf

// From manual exports

User_Contacts_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.vcf
Manual_Contacts_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.vcf

Thank you.

Why do you want this feature?

It would improve readability when listing and sorting these files.

Additional information

I believe this situation also affects other (all?) Fossify applications.

Issue (re)created from https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Contacts/issues/89 .

This feature request partially relates to https://github.com/orgs/FossifyOrg/discussions/106 , but they don't exactly have the same goal (hence the no existing discussions checked in the checklist).

uhh, i know this might not be the right place to ask or the right time, since i'm a whole month late than when the issue was created, but are automatic backups supposed to be in every app? Because , like, i've never seen them. Are they only enabled on newer versions of android or something? cuz i'm on android 10 and never seen them

Aga-C commented 7 months ago

@onegladius Currently automatic backups are only in Contacts, Calendar and Notes (to be released soon), and they are available since Android 11.

Also, next time please use Discussions for questions about app features.
