REQ: Suggest programs to download when restoring #309

Closed bkenobi closed 7 years ago

I've been working on updating my setup and documenting the steps. Installation is straight forward as is restoring old settings, but there is a major issue IMO regarding pre-installed applications.

In the past, when settings were restored for HG apps, things just worked because they were included in the package. Now that they have been stripped out, the user must remember which apps they used and manually reinstall them. Once installed, they will work without further configuration.

I propose that HG should scan the backup for apps that are configured and ask the user which should be installed automatically.

After continuing to work with things, I realized the issue. I was restoring from r501 rather that a post r513 backup. The docs indicate that the request is implemented with a newer backup, so this request can be ignored.
