Description

Your idea
  • Instead of just a UUID, set the filename of crash reports to the date/time that the crash occurred
  • Remove crash reports after 30 days, instead of keeping them forever
Problem to be solved
  • Make it easier to find which crash report is relevant when receiving 'Diagnostic files' with a whole bunch of (old) crash reports
  • Don't make the file size of the 'Diagnostic files' archive too big; surprisingly often, the size is too big to be uploaded to Discord/GitHub/MuseScore.org.
