(1) I originally had a 'Administration' tag, but changed the name and forgot to change the label... In v1.43 I'm re-doing all the names and interface anyways and so this won't be a problem. (2) I'm going to implement Backup Sets now, so you can have eg the "Documents" set to run at one time, while "Music" will be run at another. Each set can have their own paths with them, so it's very useful. (3) Will-do - I was having some trouble with how it selects directories, but I got that sorted out. (4) I never thought of that one - I'll add some path-checks to the code (5) It automatically saves them, and the time to run it at is in 'Preferences' - But this will be united into one dialog when using sets in v1.43. (6) It's because I didn't put checks to see if the user's actually highlighted a path when hitting 'remove' - v1.43 does use checks. Please consider also making the application usable by normal users. As you may or may not know, pybackpack, bug #168690, (a python application for backing up user files) has had some serious setbacks and may not make it into FE. This is being done too - Once a user crontab is created, then the program can run in user or root mode. |
Description of problem: There are a few inconsistencies in the user interface that should be addressed: 1) Main welcome screen "Welcome to fwbackups. Click the Administration tab to configure backups, or if you wish to start a backup, click the Backup tab". There is neither a "Administration" tab or a "Backup" tab. 2) Automated Backups: "Click Add to add more paths to the list..." Are these targets or destinations? It's unclear. 3) Add path dialog: Needs directory browser. 4) Adding paths: The same path can be added multiple times. 5) Automated Backups: I've added a path. Now what? No clear direction. 6) Interface does not use a busy cursor when it's busy. Saw this pop up in the terminal window too: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/fwbackups/Callbacks.py", line 445, in ab_remove model.remove( iterator ) TypeError: iter should be a GtkTreeIter Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fwbackups-1.42.1-2.fc6
