User Interface Discussion

Here are some mockups. An in detail rationale will follow soon.

Backup

Main Window

The proflie treeview shows a set of predefinded and custom profiles.

Each profile is listed with its name and the last backup date.

By default we could deliver a profile "Personal files". It would include the users home directory and would exclude temporary files (browser caches, thumbnails, trash...).

The backup device combobox includes the devices provided by hal.
