New feature request: Impending Backup, Delete old backups

[cccc75]

Idea for two new features:

1. Change the button on the top bar when a scheduled backup will take place on shutdown. This could be a different color or bold the name, etc.
2. Add a checkbox to delete any old backups that are more than 2 * Frequency old.

Thanks for the feature request.
I am just about to release v14.1.3, but I will look if I can squeeze this in.
Deleting old backups has been requested by others for some time so might be a good time to do it.

I am thinking about the following :

• configure how many old backups to maintain (1-10, all)
• only for auto backups
• delete old backups (maintaining n) regardless of dates

The last point means frequency could change and we still maintain n backups

What do you think?

I squeezed the new option for old backups removal.
You can set to All or 1-6
I have also added the date to the custom name.
I will look at the button color at some time later.

I have to do localization and then will be releasing. It would be great if you can try it before then.
You can grab b11 here:
