Timeshift settings do not appear to be applying

[TeamFahQ]

Describe the bug Timeshift options not being applied exclusion list date/time format schedules

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Timeshift->Settings
2. Change scheduled jobs ( I have 1 montly and 2 weekly set)
3. Go to Filters and add folders to be included and excluded
4. Go to Misc and change Dat Format
5. Creat manual backup. Still includes my excluded folders and does not name the folder to my prefered format. Also runs several times a day.

Expected behavior To exclude the folders I have added to the exclusion list. Name the folder per my set date format, only run twice a week.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. No screen shots, but I did completely purge Timeshift, all my backups and reinstalled Timeshift. I would also like to point out I have 2 fodlers (very large contents) that I'm trying to exclude, and they are both in my home directory. When I choose to only include hidden items in my home dir,or even excluded my entire home dir, in users, Timeshift does infact exclude my home dir.

System:

• Linux Mint 21
• Cinnamon
• Application Version 22.06.5

I took a look at the timeshift.json file and my excluded folder is there. As well as the schedule is correct.

{
  "backup_device_uuid" : "UUID OF MY DRIVE",
  "parent_device_uuid" : "",
  "do_first_run" : "false",
  "btrfs_mode" : "false",

  "count_weekly" : "2",
  "count_daily" : "1",

  "date_format" : "%d %b %Y %I:%M %p",
  "exclude" : [
    "+ /home/thomas/**",
    "/home/thomas/.steam/***",
    "/root/**"
  ],
  "exclude-apps" : []
}

I have moved most of my large directories to another drive for now. But there is 1 dir (.steam) that I cannot move nor do I want to include it in a backup. Please help? Should I post this issue in the teejee repo instead?
