IDE 2.2.2 save as with a new name

mistofeles · September 11, 2023, 12:00pm

When I make a SAVE AS, the IDE gives an indexed name for the file like:
WEMOS_dataLogger_01_copy_20230911133524_cop_copy_20230911145613

Is there some way to select, what the name contains ?
I did not find anything from Ctrl-Shift-P.

It is defined in the Arduino IDE code here:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

arduino-ide-extension/src/common/protocol/sketches-service.ts

2.2.1


      
          const copy = '_copy_';
          const datetimeFormat = 'yyyymmddHHMMss';
          const timestampSuffixLength = copy.length + datetimeFormat.length;
          // (non-API)
          export function timestampSuffix(now = new Date()): string {
            return `${copy}${dateFormat(now, datetimeFormat)}`;
          }

OK
Thank you. I think I'm not going to touch it.
