Hey guys,

I took quite a bunch of evening hours, however it is now quite stable and
functioning quite as it should, but I managed to change the snapshot folder
into a new location -> backintime/machine/user-profile_id (I did not like
the user/profile_id/, as the id is often only 1 number).
The old snapshots stay were they are. The old folder I added as an extra
other snapshot folder. This way we do not move around old snapshots, and
this way I can start implementing another feature to be able to select other
snapshots folders (e.g. from other machines, or users (root)). These folders
are not used to add new snapshots, and are not considered for smart-remove.
This also means that the snapshots that are there at the moment are not
removed any longer. I might have to make a kind of update solution for that.
At the moment I give the snapshots a random tag, associated with user and a
profile, to have unique snapshots_id's in the future, what is necessary to
fetch the paths to these snapshots.

The branch is available: snapshot-location. I still need to change the kde
application, that might still have a lot of struggles with the profile_id's
(in a lot of cases the lack of profile_id's suddenly give problems when you
use the profile_id in the folder :-)). What do you think about it?

Cheers,
Bart
