excludes list is not added to the exported settings

[matthias-vorwerk]

Description

I encountered a bug.

I wanted to transfer a Vorta Profile to another device. I used the "Aktiviertes Profil exportieren" (export activated profile) button to create a json file. I also selected to include the password.

Looking into the json file I found that my list of excludes (configured in "Ausschlüsse verwalten" = manage excludes, first tab "Benutzerdefiniert" (Custom)) list (about 10 entries) can not be found in the exported profile.

I think this should be included in the profile config file.

Thanks a lot.

That's a good pre-GSoC issue to debug. @Knightlegend @Mady356 @NobleCoder69 @moizulfiqar @preetbiswas12 @psbuilds @slantsh @trxvorr @zahedshams

Hi, I’d like to work on this issue.

I will first try to reproduce the problem locally and inspect how the profile export function serializes configuration data. It seems the custom exclude list is not being included in the exported JSON, so I will check whether the exclude model is properly attached to the export logic.

I’ll update the thread once I identify the root cause or submit a draft PR. Thanks!

Is there any other problem that I could start with?

There are definitely other worthwhile bug reports to investigate. Just get to know the software, learn what users want to achieve and then you can decide what issues can have the biggest impact.

That sounds good!
