Ok, I remember we talked about it on the mailing-list, I wasn't aware it already landed in trunk! I can remove the answer in the FAQ or edit it to warn people about the fact that GTG should handle this by default. > Many people complain about the current backuping.

I'm not sure, but I think it's because in early days we imagined having several "projects" using each a separate file (this was before the backend stuff). I think this was supposed to give us an easy way to have a different filename for each of those projects whithout having to parse existing files. I'm not 100% sure this was the reason, but whatever it was, I don't think it's relevant anymore. Maybe Lionel can concur on this. > Looking forward to your opinions :) > > Izidor > > 1: https://live.gnome.org/gtg/FAQ -- Bertrand Rousseau _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gtg-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gtg-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
