Restore from backup does not work with renamed files

[rajarajanr]

Currently, pastebar import fails if the backup file is renamed to something else. (for eg: project1_pastebar-backup.zip)

Context:
I take backups of history items for each of my projects and rename them with project title;
this is so that I can quickly import the appropriate project backup and pastebar history will have the relevant items.
I remove the datetime from the file name so that I can quickly overwrite the same backup database per project before switching projects.

ps: I recently discovered pastebar as I needed to switch between MacOS and Windows and needed a solution for backing up and restoring across these platforms. Getting to know the application and figuring out my workflow.
pps: It would be great if we get the saveAs dialogue while backing up, where we can select a preexisting file to overwrite or create a new one with custom name.

@rajarajanr Thanks for reporting. I see this issue as well. If you rename backup to project1-pastebar-data-backup..., but I was able to restore from renamed file if the name starts with pastebar-data-backup-.... So if you want, you can rename your backups to pastebar-data-backup-project1.zip. Then restore from the file should be working as expected. I need to keep prefix pastebar-data-backup of the backup file to identify them as valid pastebar backups. Please try to rename and confirm.

@kurdin I tested with pastebar-data-backup-project1.zip and it seems to work without any issues.

Would it be possible to implement saveAs dialogue for backing up?
It would be great to just select and overwrite the previous project backup file instead of saving the file first, going to the folder, renaming the file, and then replacing the previous backup with the updated one, which is pretty tedious if I'm switching projects multiple times in a session.
