Borg-BackUP-GUI

Hi and thank you for a very cool app!

Could you possibly add an --exclude-from functionality to the Selection tab? I have a very long list of Ignored files and dirs that I store in a file. It would be nice to be able to provide it form the GUI.

I understand I can change the sh script in config directory but am afraid it might be overwritten if I change other parameters in GUI.

Ok, I checked what will happen and here are my findings:

PRE.

1. I have created a backup, let's call it main-backup
2. I have added 2 directorys using the GUI in to Ignore list

Experiment:

1. Start a backup jib from GUI

result: all is ok: I can see --exclude in the borg command called from the GUI

Closing the GUI

2. go to ~/.config/Borg-BackUP-GUI/profiles and edit a main-backup. Appending the script with --exlude-from %PATH% and saving the script Open GUI but do not unlock the Selection dialog and make any other changes (say compression). Saving the result and closing the GUI. Open GUI again and start a backup job.

result: all is ok: I can see --exlude-from %PATH% in the borg command called from the GUI

3. open GUI and change some dirs/files in Selection dialog. Save and close GUI.

result: the sh script got modified and --exlude-from %PATH% has being removed (expected)

So what may help is just an additional button and some small logic behind it.

Hello hellkaim, I'm glad you like it. I'm still on holiday this month, but I'll have a look at this when I get back to the HO.

Thanks, no hurry at all! Patiently waiting and hoping.

Sorry for bothering... any update?

Sorry, I lack absoultly the time for this project, should this condition continue I will have to stop the further development for this.

Ouh! Ok, that happens. THX.
