Mortem backup filename should be more descriptive and sortable

(1/3) > >>

Simon-v:
Currently the mortems are copied to the mortem directory and named according to the following format:


--- Code: ---[DD-MM-YYYY H-M-S] NAME.txt
--- End code ---

It is my belief that the naming format should be more descriptive and useful, including the following modifications:

* Follow the YYYY-MM-DD date format
* Always use two-digit 24h time
* Include the difficulty
* Include the game type (normal or challenge)
* Include the game outcome (level reached (two digits) or victory type)The proposed changes will make the mortem archive searcheable, sortable and generally more convenient.

Examples:


--- Code: ---2010-03-17 22-34-17 E-Normal-St1 Simon.txt
2010-05-07 02-41-05 N-Normal-15 Simon.txt
2010-07-13 12-03-24 H-AoMr-Pt1 YourName.txt
2010-11-20 14-50-22 U-Ao100-02 HisName.txt
2010-12-31 23-59-59 N!-AoPc-Pt1 SomeName.txt
--- End code ---

Besides that it makes the file names really long, I like it!

ZZ:
DD-MM-YYYY is European standart and should not be changed due to the different nationalities of the players.
Exact time is useless. Seconds are the most useless.
As for the rest, it's nice to have the more detailed description because right now I have difficulties checking my Mortems.
Also good idea make this  changeable in the .ini file.
And crazy idea - make mortems assessable from the HoF table if not deleted.
And this is NOT a bug, this is a feature request.

I would assume YYYY-MM-DD was suggested so that mortems will be in order.  The format depends on your regional settings; if dates on your computer are in YYYY-MM-DD format then the mortems follow that.

You can always choose sort by date in your favourite file manager :> (hint, hint!)
