So it is, apologies for not spotting it. -- [enhancement] Display hidden/dot files in snapshot view https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Back In Time Team, which is subscribed to Back In Time.
Status in Back In Time: Invalid Bug description: Back in time backs up hidden files (such as .bashrc) by selection of the parent directory. However the snapshot view does not show the hidden files, so one cannot cherry pick individual files - the whole directory must be restored or nothing. A keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+H or menu item, as used by Nautilus seems suitable. Rationale: It is useful to be able to take a complete backup of one's home directory, perform a clean install of the OS, and then selectively restore settings files such as .gnupg/*, and .ssh/* whilst leaving Gnome/KDE settings at their defaults. This allows one to test new features in a clean environment, but to keep other settings. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : bit-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
