Add info about unsyncable files in "jotta-cli Status" #123

Closed eljejer closed 3 years ago

eljejer commented 3 years ago

jotta-cli release (jotta-cli version): jottad executable : /usr/bin/jottad jottad appdata : /var/lib/jottad jottad version : 0.7.35160 jotta-cli version : 0.7.35160

Description of problem: When a file does not meet the criteria for backing up, it will be skipped during backup. jotta-cli reports this as follows: 'Status : 1 files (113.16KiB) have not been backed up'

Expected: It would be nice if jotta-cli would report which file(s) it is concerning

jotta-cli status (jotta-cli status):

Relevant logs for the issue (cat ~/.jottad/jottabackup.log)

Traceback

Additional info: On a regular basis files come into my Documents folder without the right permission/ownership. For jottad to be able to process them they have to have GID jottad and execute permission for jottad. With this in mind it would be nice if jotta-cli reports accurately in stead of generally

I agree that is missing. We'll prioritize getting it in the next release.

Hi,

We have added a new feature status -v to the unstable release channel. This will inform you of specific file errors. It will be included in the next stable release, but feel free to check out unstable - any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks for this- However, I suppose the specific error because of which I requested this feature will not occur any more so often because I made a change in the jotta configuration after I requested this; I changed User=jottad into User="my user" in the jottad.service file. Now jottad can read all the files in the backup folders anyway.

We released 0.8.36055 today which should resolve this.
