Please be aware that the 22.9 version has a bug that can create problems when you try to burn the ISO to a flashdrive
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 31#p694931

But is fixed in 22.9.01 that should come shortly from the repo (by tomorrow) or get it from our github repo: https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot ... _amd64.deb

You know, this morning I started to open a new bug about this, but I didn't had enough time to gather all the information and printscreens about this ? But I waited, because 1 in 4 iso writings was ok :))

I will make some new tests after the update.

Hello,
can you bring back the creation of the info file in the same dir where the snapshot is made ?
It's gone again.
Only the ISO is there.

Are you aware that the snapshot log and log.old are found in /var/log/ making additional copies of the log cruft, fluff, and otherwise unnecessary? If you output directory contains the .md5 and .sha512 files, you can be confident that the snapshot was completed without error.

[~FLOW~]

I know.
The previous version did create the log in the same folder. And if you don't opt for the checksum files, the log comes in handy.
Just saying.

Thank you !!
Version 22.10 is perfect now

Was wondering where all the snapshots went to!

If someone would be so kind as to point me to the exact page for the 22.10 KDE one...

Github is best!

... In fact, it will be a good idea too to have the ability to choose .md5 or .sha512 (instead the both in the same time)

I have a new build, would you guys be kind to give it a spin?

https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot ... _amd64.deb

Changelog:
* Make it possible to select different checksum, not all or nothing
* Provide more info about compression algorithms
* Remove code targetting versions < Stretch
* Add optional customization for name of the project, version, date, codename, boot options

(I was talking to dolphin_oracle to maybe hide the optional customization items under a drop down but I think there are not too many items, at least they fit without problem in the GUI, and it might be good to show users what options are available).
