Description

Settings > Data > Export Codes

  • The same filename is used for both plain text and encrypted exports.
  • If a file has already been exported it gets silently overwritten without any prompt.
  • Plain text exports can overwrite encrypted exports and vice versa.
  • This makes it easy to accidentally lose previously exported data.

Suggestions

  1. Add export type in the filename to distinguish easily.
  2. Add timestamp %H%M%S in the filename to prevent overwriting.
  3. Use appropriate extension in the filename based on export type.
  4. Format: ente-auth-codes-<type>-%Y%m%d-<%H%M%S>.<extension>

Examples

export filename
encrypted ente-auth-codes-encrypted-20251225-185704.json
plain text ente-auth-codes-plaintext-20251225-185718.txt
plain html ente-auth-codes-plainhtml-20251225-185745.html
