Blogger Backup 1.0.4.10 Released with new Custom Path Builder feature
I've added what I think is a pretty cool and useful new Custom Path Builder feature to v1.0.4.10 of my Blogger Backup utility.
This feature gives the user full control over their resulting folder tree and post names. Now you can create the folder structure and post file names that best suit you.
It will default to [Backup Folder]\Blog Title\PublishedDate(ISO8601 YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS formatted)-PostTitle.XML (pretty much the way it was before).
But now YOU can tweak that path to best fit your style and needs.
Want to store each year's posts in a different subfolder?
Want to store each month's posts in a different subfolder?
Want to reverse that and store it my month/year?
Done, done, done.
Want to change the post file name? Say only using the post title?
Or Year-Month-PostTitle?
Or only use the ISO8601 date (YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS - 20070707T081012)?
Want to use custom static text value?
Done, done, done, done.
Want to use Updated dates instead of Published dates?
Done.
Want to play around and see how the different options will effect the final names?
Done.
Again, the new path build is meant to allow you the all the flexibility you may need or want.
This is the first time I've built something like this, so please bear with me as I may tweak it in future versions...

The Examples at the bottom of the dialog are "live", meaning as you change the different options, the examples update automatically. This should give you a good feel for how the options and their order will look.
