Seems like could be easily achieved by just tarballing ~/.share/local/gtg and pop up file dialog for where to store it. Personally, what I do to backup is just cd ~/.share/local/gtg; cp -r gtg gtg-$date Perhaps could even be as simple as this? As far as the suggestion of allowing the task database to be stored in any arbitrary location, I don't have a firm opinion, however it seems the main reason why one would need to know where that is would be to deal with a problem, and from a support point of view having the xml file in a predictable location would probably simplify troubleshooting a good bit... Anyway, I don't think we should turn away a patch if someone wanted to contribute this as a fix, but neither do I think it should really be a priority for the core development team to work on. And maybe Luca's right that the backends work will make this all a moot point and give the functionality for free anyway. :-) -- add import/export https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357091 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gtg contributors, which is subscribed to Getting Things GNOME!.
