Merge Automatic Backup and Manual Export into one "Backup Notes" Setting about safenotes HOT 9 CLOSED

Drop the word choose then? "Default Backup Folder"

Yeah, that's much better

do we need that function at all?

As I mentioned earlier, 4th one is meant to be a redundant mechanism for data backup in the unlikely event that automatic backup breaks down as it has too many moving parts.

How about "Backup to a Different Folder"?

Setting name: "Backup Notes"

1. Default Backup Folder
2. Auto Backup
3. Force Backup Now
4. Backup to a Different Folder

This is a great suggestion.
To be honest I was a bit confused about what to name the manual backup the only thing I could come up with at that time was Manual Export. This is meant to be a redundant mechanism for data backup in the unlikely event that automatic backup breaks down as it has too many moving parts.

Don't you think Choose Default Backup Folder is too long for button?

And 4. "Backup Once to Another Folder"? It is hard to shorten that description. Or do we need that function at all?

This sounds good :)

Playing with the manual export feature, I realize it is just setting the backup folder then saving a file one time. It isn't just saving to different folder one time. Therefore is is redundant with features 1+3 above. I am not sure that is the intent.

Right now it is just like clicking on "Change Folder" then "Backup Now" which is kinda why I found it redundant before. To have real value it must backup to a folder without setting it as the new default.

Ah, I just realized the naming of this file is different. I just suggested a naming scheme in issue #66 where you always put the date on it. I think that the date is important info to always have on the name.

Going forward Manual export will have 2 buttons

1. Choose folder
2. Save to Download ( similar to v1.0 )

That way we can be sure that even if for some reason the folder picking is not working for some sdk user can still export data.

Manual export will never change the existing backup routine or backup destination

Date & time is already included in manual export.

in version 2.1.0 in the backup section it says "choose backup folder from below" but there is nothing to choose anymore.
