[Deja-dup-hackers] Partial restore, take 2

[Urban Škudnik <urban skudnik gmail com>]

Hey,

after a bit of brainstorming with a friend Jure we came up with  
another mockup that might facilitate partial backup in a better manner:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1493539/past-rest-mockup.pdf

By adding files to a special list that would be communicated to a user  
at all times, users could restore files from different time points at  
the same time, which would be impossible by my first mockup since user  
would have to run assistant several times to achieve this (and also  
for files from different directory). This mockup also better addresses  
the issue of user not knowing where in the assistant he is - although  
I would still add progress bar with superimposed text regarding next  
step to even better communicate to user where in the process he is and  
how many steps still await him.

Not included in the backup is a small "x" or "delete" button from the  
table below which would allow user to delete a file that was added by  
mistake.

After a bit of discussion with GTK guys it is apparent that although  
widget is being developed it is still quite far from being developed  
to acceptable level. I may give a helping hand in it's development  
later, but will, for the time being, just use treeview for browsing  
file structure and iconview for showing current directory. If he/we  
develop the breadcrumbs later, I might switch to that when the time  
comes.

Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? :)

Regards,
Urban
