Feature description
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.
- Should I create the same issue everywhere?
- Could you please apply this change to other application?
Please report it in https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues, as it should be changed in all apps that have a manual export ability.
