Write GUI with zenity #6

Open mrrfv opened 2 years ago

mrrfv commented 2 years ago

TODO. Allows us to reuse code.

Hi! Just found this amazing project. I will test the code later to verify all works with my new phone :smile:

Here comes my opinion: You can definitely write a GUI for the shell script via Zenity, however it won't be that much portable. Have you ever considered using a programming language e.g. Python for rewriting the project and achieving true portability?

@tsterbak This might not be the best place to ask questions unrelated to this issue (please use Discussions for that), but yes, Open Android Backup uses very standard methods of backing up / restoring data so it should be ROM-agnostic. Some ROMs however do not support the tar export method, so it might be better to use the adb option instead. Also, you can use environment variables to automatically change some backup settings - including the export method. Let me know if you have any more questions.

@mrrfv Thank you for your fast response. I moved it to discussions now. I'll delete my comment here.
