"Profile" dropdown in "Error Log View" not working

'View Snapshot Log' will open the log from the current selected snapshot. This is stored inside the snapshot path.
'View Last Log' will show the log of the last run which is stored in ~/.local/backintime/takesnapshot_X.log. So even if there was no new snapshot (e.g. there where no changes) you can view the last log.

This both different log-viewers make sense. But I think, the 'Profile' dopdown is hidden in the wrong log-viewer. Changing profiles doesn't make sense in 'View Snapshot Log' as other profiles will never have the exact same snapshot-id. Instead it would be useful to switch between snapshots in here.
But in 'View Last Log' it would make sense to switch profiles as you might want to check the last logs from all profiles without closing the dialog, change profile and go back into the dialog...

I'll change it in this way.

Thanks for that explanation, which makes sense...

Just one thing regarding your fix:

when the currently selected profile does not have a (local) 'last log', 'View last log' simply does 'nothing' (neither error message nor (empty) pop-up window 'Last Log View'; for traceback please see attached file).

Finally, a somewhat different issue (could open a new bug for that, if you prefer):

with regard to a 'remote encrypted' profile, activating 'Decode Paths' in either 'Snapshot Log View' or 'Last Log View' freezes BiT and the Log View window. 'ps -auxfww | grep backintime' returns:

akki 8215 0.0 0.1 13064 2916 pts/0 S+ 19:44 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/backintime-qt4

Killing the last mentioned process (8337) 'reawakens' BiT (though then the paths remain undecoded).

Any ideas?

And as usual: many thanks!

Thanks, that was caused by the debug message I added for next version.

The other one is the same reason as in bug #1455925 but this time for the decode function. Fixed this, too.

Both now work like a charm, thanks again!

I do have one more, minor issue, though, with the refurbished Last Log View:
BiT shows the 'Decode Paths' checkbox only when the profile selected in the main window (before opening the Last Log View) is a 'remote encrypted' profile, but not when switching profiles to such a profile from within the Last Log View via the new Profiles drop down list...

Best regards!

Hmm, wasn't that minor as I needed to synchronize Log Viewers profiles with Main Windows profiles. Otherwise the profile wouldn't mount and the decode process wouldn't find the .encfs6.xml. But this should do it now.

Oops, sorry about that!

Everything's fine now - thanks!

No worries. I love to tinker until I find a good solution.
