time-machine-helper's Introduction

👋 Hi, I’m Louis Langholtz (@louis-langholtz).
👀 I’m interested in motivation theory based approaches to software, business, leadership, and interpersonal relationships.
😂 Besides enjoying software development in languages like C++, I like a variety of physical activities and immersive D&D-like role playing games.
🌱 I’m currently learning about the human experience... every day of my life, haha! I'd like to think of myself as a proverbial old dog that's still learning new tricks.
💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on software or business projects.
I'm also on GitHub.IO, Stack Overflow, other StackExchange sites like Software Engineering, and some other social networking sites.
🔈 I'm outspoken about some things:
- C++: More Reasons To Avoid std::endl
- C++: My Love Affair With Polymorphic Value Types.
- C++ private member functions aren't necessary, consider non-member non-friend functions instead.
📫 How to reach me: leave a comment near something I've said or done that you're interested in. Hopefully that weeds out the bots and leaves the people who have more sincere interest in contacting me.

time-machine-helper's Issues

Can't do merging restores: fails if file already exists

Restores of directories with all its subdirectories fails if destination already has any of the source files in it. It'd be desirable to support merge/sync like restores that offered options for handling existing files.

For context, see questions like:

Can I do a merge restore from Time Machine.

Can't start or stop backups directly from app

As a nice-to-have, provide a button per destination for starting and stopping backups.

Path to sudo not configurable

Make path of sudo command a configurable setting.

Crash seen after multiple storage off/on events

From the macOS Problem Report:

There are some 1500+ threads shown in a stack state like:

Deleted backups not automatically removed from path listing

Paths deleted via "Delete Backups" are not removed automatically from File System Info Path listing.

This task is to enhance the application to automatically remove deleted paths from the path listing.

Git commit hash not also part of About info

I'd like the git commit hash to be able to be part of the applications About info.

Path action dialogs splitter behavior seems off

Path action dialogs (for Delete Backups..., or any other Path Actions) show a splitter between the upper and lower frames. The splitter movement doesn't seem quite right though as if the lower or upper frames aren't configured ideally in terms of their resizing capabilities.

Make downloadable binaries or a downloadable installer of them available for macOS Sonoma.
Put the application up on Apple's App store.
