✨: [FEATURE] Use same display names in TimeMachineStatus list as Time Machine system settings #53
Description
The name displayed in TimeMachineStatus is not always the same as what's displayed in Time Machine settings. I have two network backup destinations that have the same SMB share name but on different hosts. System Settings shows the host and share name, TimeMachineStatus shows just the share name in main list. (You can see the host name in the URL if you click on the destination in TimeMachineStatus).
It would be great if they were the same... Example below:

hi, can you post a screenshot of what the URL looks like when you click on your drive in TimeMachineStatus? I'm debating if I should trim the URL to match the system setting view or keep the full URL

Here you go.
Looks like Time Machine system settings seems to do some extra parsing, extracting the hostname...
