Bug Description
The "profile" dropdown in the "Error Log View" opened via "View Snapshot Log" does not work in BiT rev. 1120.
(Other than the preselected filter, this "profile" dropdown seems to be the only difference to the "Error Log View" opened via "View Last Log"?)
And something for the wishlist:
If you do include a function to choose between multiple logs within the "View Snapshot Log[s]" window, I think it would be helpful if you could choose between different snapshots (in addition to (or: instead of) switching between different profiles).
Finally: maybe such dialog window should be titled "Snapshot Log View" (as in the menu: "View Snapshot Log")?

'View Snapshot Log' will open the log from the current selected snapshot. This is stored inside the snapshot path. backintime/ takesnapshot_ X.log. So even if there was no new snapshot (e.g. there where no changes) you can view the last log.
'View Last Log' will show the log of the last run which is stored in ~/.local/
This both different log-viewers make sense. But I think, the 'Profile' dopdown is hidden in the wrong log-viewer. Changing profiles doesn't make sense in 'View Snapshot Log' as other profiles will never have the exact same snapshot-id. Instead it would be useful to switch between snapshots in here.
But in 'View Last Log' it would make sense to switch profiles as you might want to check the last logs from all profiles without closing the dialog, change profile and go back into the dialog...
I'll change it in this way.
