froster archive -- return to previous behavior #92

currently i need to invoke -H to see hotspot files

froster archive -H

and after that I see

[?] How should we proceed with the archiving process?:
   Archive all hotspots
   Archive one hotspot
 > Cancel

this is not a good default behavior as people should never just be able archive everything with one click .... that is the purpose of the --larger xxx --older xxx option. This should happen:

froster archive

check if there this a hotspots file. If there is one, open that file and show all the hotspots, If there is more than 1 hotspots file open athe list of files and let the user pick one
if there is no hotspots file give the user the error message that is already great:

No hotposts found.

You can search for hotspot by indexing folders using command:
    froster index "/your/folder/to/index"

For archive a specific folder run:
    froster archive "/your/folder/to/archive"

Even if only there is one I'll make the user select the hotspot file so it simplifies development and make the user aware of what he is doing.

Solved in froster v0.14.16
