v2.0.2 Hotfix 2

A few more important fixes.

Fixes and Changes

• Backup and Restore buttons got disabled forever if the program encountered No device connected error
• The native folder selection window wouldn't open on some distros like Kubuntu and Arch (maybe due to Flet), so zenity is now used to handle that. So yes, zenity is now a pre-requisite.
• Make error notification dialogs look more like 'errors'

Note

After downloading, enable executable permissions for the file by either

• Performing a right-click -> Select "properties" or a similar option -> Look for a "Enable executable permissions" option or similar
• Running chmod u+x ibackep in the executable's directory

v2.0.1 Hotfix

A critical fix for v2.0.0

Fix

• Newer Linux distro releases displayed libmpv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory due to dependency required by Flet. Solved by downgrading to Flet 0.19.0

Note

After downloading, enable executable permissions for the file by either

• Performing a right-click -> Select "properties" or a similar option -> Look for a "Enable executable permissions" option or similar
• Running chmod u+x ibackep in the executable's directory

v2.0.0

A major refactor, both in terms of UI and backup operations handling.

What's New?

• libimobiledevice is no longer used for handling backup and restore. Instead, pymobiledevice3 takes the job now.
  Thus, there's no need to install the libimobiledevice program separately for iBackep to work.
• Several changes in the UI, including the new operations dialog that display a progress ring for keeping track of backup and restore operations.
• Only dark theme available (sorry light theme users).

Note

After downloading, enable executable permissions for the file by either

• Performing a right-click -> Select "properties" or a similar option -> Look for a "Enable executable permissions" option or similar
• Running chmod u+x ibackep in the executable's directory
