Send flow, Store as file: use flow name as filename

Post by kintrupf » 26 Feb 2014 10:16

When I save a single flow on the SD card with the "Send flows", "Store as file" commands Automagic suggests a filename like "exported_data_20140226_111047.xml".
Putting date/time into the filename is not a bad idea, but with a single flow as source I would expect the prefix to be the flow name.
If I use the "Send flows" command on a group the filename prefix should be the name of the group.

This should be implemented in the next version. It will slightly modify the names to remove special characters and spaces.
