[Feedback] Export Full Backup UI should show progress/feedback
I wanted to make a full backup, and followed the steps as so:
-> Go into bottle
-> Click ...
at the top
-> Select location (in this instance it was just ~
)
-> Click save
The UI then immediately places you back into the bottle screen without any confirmation. The file exists on disk so I close bottles and try to open it, but my archive manager complains that it is a corrupt archive.
After a few more attempts I realised that the archive was slowly being populated while bottles was open, and leaving it open long enough eventually completes the backup with a toast message.
There should probably be some kind of UI element to demonstrate that the archive is being populated and that you probably shouldn't close Bottles before it is complete.
I noticed the same thing too.
It was the first time I was doing a backup, to then import it to another machine.
While the backup system most likely works, there must be:
- a progress bar telling the status of the backup
- no way to close bottles without a prompt
Would help if you could queue exports so you could if it be. I am currently exporting all of my bottles for new PC and manually clicking export for all of them is kinda pain in the a
Technically there is feedback if inside the bottle click on the "Task Manager" and check the top right spinning gear icon, this is purely UI problem that the main Bottles window does not show the TaskManager
state.
