Additional context
I keep getting:
Konsave: Exporting "zsh"...
Konsave: Source path doesn't exist
Please check the log at /home/tom/konsave_log.txt for more details.
which refers to this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/tom/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/konsave/funcs.py", line 40, in inner_func
function = func(*args, **kwargs)
File "/home/tom/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/konsave/funcs.py", line 100, in copy
assert os.path.exists(source), "Source path doesn't exist"
AssertionError: Source path doesn't exist
This is my config:
save:
[...]
zsh:
location: "$HOME"
entries:
- .zshrc
I have also tried pointing the location using the full location and get the same error. What is happening and how do I fix it?
The location you have entered does not exist. Please check if .zshrc really exists in your home directory. It is working for me.
It definitely is... this is also spewing the same error for 3 other locations that all exist.
Should it be "$HOME/tom" ? But then why wouldn't /home/tom/ work?
Should it be "$HOME/tom" ?
No. $HOME is a placeholder that points to the current user's home directory so it's actually just /home/tom/. But you can also try putting /home/tom/ directly there, though if you then export your profile and share it to somebody, your .zshrc file won't be copied to their home directory (it will try to find /home/tom/ in their PC which obviously won't exist as long as the usernames are not same).

No everything default works fine, for some reason additions to
configs:
location: "$CONFIG_DIR"
Also don't show up in the archive... am I doing something wrong?
I run the command via
konsave -e tomkde
my profile 'tomkde' is located here
~/.config/konsave/profiles/tomkde/conf.yaml
Did you save the profile before exporting? You have to do konsave -s <profile-name> before you can export it to an archive.

These additions are hidden files. Make sure that you have enabled "show hidden files" in your file manager.

That was the issue! Thanks, that fixed it.
But I'll open this issue again. Because I just noticed that the user should be aware of the fact that the profile needs to be saved first. I'll add a message in the help text and make it so that it will throw an error if the profile doesn't exist :)
The profile existed, I had just edited the file ~/.config/konsave/profiles/tomkde/conf.yaml instead of just editing ~/.config/konsave/conf.yaml then resaving.
