Select directories/files to include/exclude in tree view with checkboxes

[DanitiKain]

BackInTime is great but if you have specific directories and files you want to include and exclude then it can be very time consuming. The interface of Kbackup is something that the team should review as it makes selecting and not selecting files/folders a breeze. Be nice if you could mimic this interface a bit for selecting what to backup.

@DanitiKain There is a new forming maintaining team and we do review all issues. Is this problem still relevant for you, can you reproduce it with a newer or the latest release? Did you find a solution?

Can you please show us some screenshots please and point us to the most interesting or best parts of that GUI.

It's bascially a tree view where you can select (sub-)folders by using checkboxes:

It's a good concept, so let's keep this Feature request.

Thanks for the hint. I like that.

But I wouldn't just "add" it to the current BIT. I would take this into account when re-designing the whole GUI. This is a big/meta project. And having such a selectable tree is so basic and usual that I wouldn't keep an extra Issue open for it.

I mean when we do the GUI redesign (far away in the future) we definitely will add something like that.

No matter that this Issue is important I vote for close because we won't forget it. ;)

Heh, I see! However, I'd like to keep this Issues as a reminder. With the Feature requests a new feature Low relevant, but not urgent Labels, it won't hurt. Maybe when things have calmed down, we can have another Label called Utopia for far-future features ;)
