57	Support new time format using - instead of : separator Support new time format using - instead of : separator At least on my devices, this seems to have started with 20.04 (rdiff-backup v1.3.3) because it still was ;058 (:) on an 18.04 machine. So no rush to push this change out.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
56	replace prevBackupDate with copies of backup configs replace prevBackupDate with copies of backup configs The prevBackupDate.txt file had no real purpose. The timestamp on the copied backup configs can serve the same purpose. At the same time, we have a copy of the config in case the device is lost. We can also use something like MELD to compare the different configs that are in use. prevBackupDevice.txt does have a use in selecting a USB-device when wasta-backup is run manually. Otherwise I would have axed that one as well. Thanks to Nate Marti for this suggestion.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
55	remove menu item: Advanced - onlyBackupImportant remove menu item: Advanced - onlyBackupImportant The only purpose for this was to allow a large backup device to be able to backup everything, even if the config files indicated that it should only include specified extensions. Since the backup device can now contain its own configuration, there is no need for this (IMHO) confusing option. Added some tr() code to alert the user when it isn't a full backup - a replacement for the banner notice that needed to be removed.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
54	Use config on backup device - not a centralized config. Use config on backup device - not a centralized config. Previously, a single configuration had to cover every backup situation imaginable. However, if the config is read from the device itself, then each device can specify its own settings. Thus an external HD can backup everything, and a USB flash can restrict itself to critical data. Having a centralized config to set defaults still works. However, one downside is that a CHANGE in the default configuration can't trickle down to existing devices. [Example: adding Paratext9] The change will need to be made to each device. This downside can be mitigated if we copy backupDirs/backupInclude to ~/.config/wasta-backup -replaces the function of prevBackupDate. -allows easy verification/comparison of backup configs -allows easy config recovery in case device is lost A separate commit will do this copying. With the main config on the backup device, it seems a little too dangerous/limiting to do a --delete rsync when filling in missing files from the central config, so that was removed.

53	NFC: Make variable backupIncludeFile like all the others NFC: Make variable backupIncludeFile like all the others No Functional Change: just make configDir + "backupInclude.txt" into a global variable. This puts us in a position where it is easier to use an include file in a different place, like on the backup device itself.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
52	NFC: various code cleanup items NFC: various code cleanup items No Functional Change intended with: -fix spelling errors -clarify the overriding nature of useBackupIncludeFilter.txt -QDir().mkpath(<absolute path>) returns true if directory already exists, or if it is successfully created, so eliminate some useless checking code. -QDir(): it looks strange to have an absolute path create itself, and resulted in multiple similar-looking variable names. Using QDir(). just looks cleaner to me, so doing it where the variable isn't used anyway. It could probably apply in a few more cases as well [like QDir().rename(x,y)], but I didn't dare cause any bugs. -use case-insensitive compare on a user-editable config.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
51	bump 1.2.8: Replace Paratext 7 with Paratext 9 bump 1.2.8: Replace Paratext 7 with Paratext 9 Paratext 7 has been unsupported for a year already. It is highly unlikely that anyone is still running it since internet Send/Receive no longer functions. Additionally, this does not REMOVE paratext7 from existing backups. It only doesn't suggest Paratext7 for NEW installations. In fact, this won't even affect a machine that already had wasta-backup running with an older version, because backupDirs.txt will already have been created, and this only affects un-initialized wasta-backup starts. I haven't actually seen Paratext9Projects be created, but I am assuming that will happen. Windows documentation indicates that it creates a version 9 folder if version 8 doesn't exist. So it isn't terribly critical to get PT9 into the existing backupDirs.txt files, because most needing it will already have Paratext8Projects which already is in the list. This patch should probably go out to bionic users fairly quickly - so that fresh installs will catch Paratext9. So if prolonged testing is required for the other changes, then a quick-release version may be warranted.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
50	bug fix: allow more than 20 entries in backupDirs.txt bug fix: allow more than 20 entries in backupDirs.txt spotted this error during a code-read. It doesn't cause a crash or program error (surprisingly), it just stops reading the config file after 20 entries.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
