Renaming Tak Files

Amer786 · Post by **Amer786** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 10:23 am

I have 4 differed Jobs scheduled: Incremental backup, Differential Backup, Full Backup and Cleanup. The task file for for each of these jobs are as follows: b4a_laptop.job, b4a_laptop.job(1), b4a_laptop.job(2), b4a_laptop.job(3). My question is, how can I rename these jobs so that they dont have those annoying brackets ie how do I assign custom names to jobs?

Hi,

At this moment, you cannot change the name of the scheduled tasks.

How about at *this* moment?

Several versions later?

Hi,

You still cannot change the scheduled task name in the current version.

Hi tqmbill,

it's not a problem of B4A, but it's a lack of windows. You can not rename scheduled tasks in windows directly. You have to do some more steps: Export task into xml file; delete task in scheduler; import task via xml with a new name.

For detailed description read this: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/rename-sc ... -scheduler

@Support: Another try to implement this feature?
