Using config: [settings] dockInSysTray=false showHiddenFiles=true Kbackup selects and backups the hidden folders but does not show/backup the content of the .hidden folders ------------------------ Operating System: Kubuntu 24.10 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-8-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
forgot to mention that I'm seeing this issue when trying to backup my home dir.
Use the Menu: Settings -> Show hidden files
(In reply to Martin Koller from comment #2) > Use the Menu: Settings -> Show hidden files Already doing this, as you can see in the kbackuprc settings I posted showHiddenFiles=true it shows the folders, but not their content

It only expands with non hidden folders.
I can not reproduce here. Is it possible that you have some access permission issues? Can you look into these folders under the same user from within the command line?

I can look into this folder under the same user with cli or Dolphin. Under Plasma 5 it worked fine. Stopped working after Kubuntu 24.10 upgrade. Can't remember if Plasma 5 was using a Snap install, but Plasma 6 is definitely using Snap. Don't know if this can be a pointer.
WORKAROUND Seems Snap prevents Kbackup from seeing the files below a ~./hidden folder Removed snap version and installed older "non-snappped" kbackup 23.08.5-0ubuntu4 from a .deb package and now it works. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/722487488/kbackup_23.08.5-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb I trully hope someone find a workable fix.

ok, thanks for the update. However as this is obviously a snap issue unrelated to kbackup itself, and therefore nothing I can change, it makes sense to close this issue.

As it is now Kbackup is partially useless for ~/home/* backups
I have no clue about Snap and there is nothing in kbackup specific to this.
