More intelligent backup

[Wibbly]

The File Observer trigger seems to suggest/confirm that flows.xml is updated every time any flow executes.

Can there be a trigger for when flows (or indeed the widgets file) have actually been edited/changed (by me)? I would use this to trigger a backup of the Automagic folder, rather than having a simple periodic backup. Thus when I'm editing flows I could have a proper and up-to-date version history not littered with 'versions' of my Automagic folder that were stored just as a result of flows executing as normal?

This flow triggers, when you exit flow editor. Add some conditions or change the trigger activity to suit better your needs.

Thanks - will take a look

Hmm. Seems to work for now but there's note for that trigger that it's unreliable with Lollipop, so I don't want to rely on it.

Request remains

Is there a reason why "activity_ended" should be unreliable? If it works with my phone, will it be reliable on my phone?

Sometimes events can be missed so activity ended will not be triggered in all cases. Unfortunately there's not much I can do about this trigger since Google decided to remove some APIs in Lollipop that have been used for this purpose before.

Can a new trigger be added to support the specific need to back up flows/widgets - triggers only when flows or widgets are edited by the user?
