[Rails-devel] Save file names

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

On popular request, I have added two new entries to the customizable
configuration file my.properties.
Both affect the default file name proposed by the program:

Timezone: 
save.filename.date_time_zone=UTC
The date-time stamp is calculated using the given time zone identifier.
Default is local time.
The time zone identifier must be a valid Java time zone name. Fortunately,
that list is very long.
Java 1.6 supports names like "UTC", "EST", "EST5EDT", "Etc/GMT+5", "Cuba",
"America/Montreal", "Europe/Amsterdam" etc.
A bit of googling might help. I found a Java applet that displays the list
at http://mindprod.com/applet/tz.html,
but you must have Java 1.6 installed.

Suffix:
save.filename.suffix=Me
The suffix is appended to the base file name (before extension), separated
by an underscore, which is added automatically.

A file name created by the above settings could be
1830_20091121_1825_Me.rails

For some reason that currently escapes me, a file can be saved only after at
least one move has been done.
I suppose that is not too much of a limitation...

Erik.
