Hi Nicholas

Thanks very much for your work with Akeeba and all the other components.
This is a simple and basic question. I currently use custom descriptions on all CronJob backups as "My custom ID text [DAY]/[MONTH]/[YEAR] [TIME] J[PLATFORM_VERSION]", but I'd like to further customise these descriptions by removing the time seconds and adding the month name.
The default description kind of does that: "Backup taken on [WEEKDAY], [DAY] April(??) [YEAR] 10(??):31(??)"

Is there any chance I could customise the job description by emulating the default description and adding some text?

I'd like something like: "My custom ID text [D], [DAY] [M] [YEAR] [H]:[i]"

As an example, if the date/time was formatted in PHP it would be 'D, d M Y H:i'.

* If the answer is a plain no, what are the chances of implementing a few more variables in future versions?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Andre,

at the moment there isn't a way to remove the seconds and add the month name.
I can try to ask it to Nicholas, but at the moment he's out of office, you won't be available until next week.
