Allow disabling the backup function #30

Closed enRGi closed 2 years ago

enRGi commented 2 years ago

When having an own backup system in place, the integrated backup function is rather inconvenient as it unnecessarily floods the hdd with more data/copies of the images. This function should be made optional, so the user can decide for himself whether he wants to have backup copies or not.

I will think on this. I see your point, but also don't want to be the cause of someone losing a favorite image because they lost power at exactly the wrong instant. I suppose that could be mitigated somewhat by defaulting to "use a backup" and adding an "are you sure" message if one chooses to turn the option off.

I'll update this issue once I make a decision.

I added a no backup checkbox to program preferences. The change is on github, but I've not yet made a new release. Don't know when that will happen.
