BackupEdge: RFE

[Jay Ashworth]

For me, a common use case is "I'm going to restore, in Expert mode, one
directory worth of files, to the current directory I was in when I started
edgemenu."

Two minor changes would make that much more efficient:

1) When I go into Expert Restore, the default "Restore To" location
should be `pwd`, rather than /, as it appears to be now (at least it was
on 2.3.0, which is what they're running).

2) When the restore process is skipping over files, it should provide,
in the popup dialog, some indication that it's *skipping over files*, as
opposed to *completing the restore of the most recent matching file*, so
that you know when to manually cancel it.  If the last file is really big
(gigabytes), then it can be impossible to practically tell when to cancel
so as not to have to read the entire tape.  A spinner that moved on each 
new file encountered would fix that problem, and probably not be that hard 
to implement, I would suspect.

Anyone else have an opinion on these two items?

What's the RFE process for Microlite?  (Post here, and hope Tom sees it? :-)
