Restoring Themes

[Gary Zwicke]

I seem to have a bug restoring themes. Aptik does restore the themes as it is supposed to but for some reason when I go to the Mint 17.3 theme settings the restored themes are not there but I can manually copy the themes there from the Aptik back up folder the themes are available.

I narrowed down the problem. What Aptik does when restoring user installed themes is it creates a folder with the themes name then inside of that folder it creates another folder with the themes name and puts the theme there.

I can confirm this behaviour. When restoring icons and themes a directory is created and then the icons or themes are restored into another directory within the icon or theme directory. eg. instead of /usr/share/icons/icon_theme the path restored to becomes /usr/share/icons/icon_theme/icon_theme.

Fixed in v16.4.3.

If you already have some nested folders like this on your system, then restore any single theme from backup (no need to restore all of them). Aptik will check for nested folders and fix the folders silently.
