That's certainly one valid way to identify that information. I don't have a way of displaying that information in the app itself at the moment. Your proposal is still what I'm planning.

"Move Post" did not work, it seems I'm missing something.

Before importing a backup file it's important to know if settings are included or not.
Here's what I found when I tried to check that:
When I open the .MSB file with a text editor, I found that ...

... a backup without settings has the string "not included" in the first line


... a backup with settings has "default" instead


@Mike: can you confirm that? can you propose a better way to check if settings are included or not?

I'm still convinced that including the library name into the default backup filename as I proposed in https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...13088.html would help avoiding difficulties

+1 for the backup name include librairy name.

For me, the simplest and logic is do not include Parameters" in backup procedure, separate menu AND file are more secure...

Idea As I suggested by message, the librairy name should be placed above the "Synchronise librairy" with function "Librairy Change", but only if two or more librairy exist. For people having only one, no need suplement confusing menu...

Question : should't it be now time to separate library in different directory (using library name)?
You could put a condition : If more than one librairy ? Or an option "Enable Librairy changes"

It's perfectly fine and convenient to include parameters into the backup for users that have only one device and / or one library. So the current implementation with the "Include MobileSheets Settings" checkbox is well-thought and provides what's required.

Yes, as above: this parameter should be removed if there are several libraries, because it is dangerous...

No. I completely disagree. This checkbox has been there since multiple libraries were implemented and everybody has kearned to use it responsibly.

There is one thing I need to investigate and potentially change - if you restore settings with a backup, I actually don't think this should change what library is active. It should maintain the current active library even after restoring the backup. Otherwise it just gets too confusing as to what is happening. So I need to double-check the logic and behavior related to this.
