In Exclude, Ctrl-A + Ctrl-C doesn't work correctly

[John Buczek]

I'm trying to copy an extensive EXCLUDE list (approx. 50 lines) to paste in a different profile.

First Ctrl+A appears to work correctly, selecting all entries in the EXCLUDE window.

Then Ctrl+C

then in another profile Ctrl+V does not appear to do anything.

and Ctrl+V in a text editor (gedit) pastes one item .... apparently at random

Copy/paste is not supported (yet). I'll add this to wishlist.

For now you can close BIT, open ~/.config/backintime/config in your favourite editor and copy/paste all profile1.snapshots.exclude.* values. Finally do a find/replace for profile1 into profile2 for this lines

Thank you, sir. This will do just fine.
