Backup filenames for settings and profiles now include the application version between the timestamp and original filename:
<timestamp>_<version>_<original_filename>.Changes
TimestampHelper.GetTimestampFilename— Added optionalversionparameter. When provided, dots are replaced with dashes and the segment is inserted between the timestamp and filename. Backward-compatible (omittingversionpreserves existing behavior).SettingsManager.CreateDailyBackupIfNeeded— PassesAssemblyManager.Current.Version.ToString()toGetTimestampFilename.ProfileManager.CreateDailyBackupIfNeeded— Same.Example output
Existing
CleanupBackupslogic (IsTimestampedFilename+Contains($"_{name}.")) continues to work correctly with the new format.Related issue(s)

Copilot summary
TimestampHelper.GetTimestampFilenamegains an optionalversionstring parameter. When supplied, the method replaces dots with dashes and inserts the version between the timestamp and the original filename (e.g.,20260201010630_2026-3-4-0_Settings.json). BothSettingsManagerandProfileManagerare updated to passAssemblyManager.Current.Version.ToString(), so all daily backups now embed the running application version. TheIsNullOrWhiteSpaceguard ensures no stray underscores appear if a blank version is ever passed.To-Do
