Description:
before dump is done I see folder like %HOMEPATH%\documents\dumps
after it is changed to %HOMEPATH%\documents\dumps\dumpYYYYMMDD

How to repeat:
take any dump

Suggested fix:
I expect folder with date be in place before export is done

Consider that dump could be done at midnight.

Which date do you expect ... date from yesterday when you started dumping or date from today when dump finished?

You misunderstood me. I start administration page in workbench, swith to data dump tab and I see destination folder %HOMEPATH%\Documents\dumps. After any dump is done this destination changes to %HOMEPATH%\Documents\dumps\dump20100812 (for today) - without any actions from my side - that is some functionality inside workbench itself.

And I expect a date when a dump was started in YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm format (ISO) as it was in old MySQL Administrator.

And I miss backup projects functionality very much. As it was in old MySQL Administrator, when I could choose tables for project and save it for future use and dumps were named as "backup_project_name YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm" - that was really useful. Should I submit a feature request for that?

Changed dump tab so that the target folder/path is shown before dump is performed

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.27 changelog:

Dump tab did not display the target folder before the dump was performed.
