I think I did everything right, but still cannot get it to work. First, I created the file for the tar.gz original, then extracted it into that same folder. I called the folder 'btrfs_subvol_mgr'. Then I created the other ServiceMenus folder where you said to put it, and cut/pasted the contents of the two files there. I checked with Dolphin and they were both there. So now what? I right clicked on the desktop file after mounting sda1 to /mnt, pressed create a snapshot, and got an error message about it not being a subvolume. I seem to have missed a step somewhere. And how do I access the program? From the .local etc folder?

Thanks, I will try it later this week, as I'm on my way to the Andes for a few days.

Code:To install, place the "subvol_manager.desktop" file and the "subvol_manager-scripts" folder and it's contents into: ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus Required script dependencies include: sudo kdialog notify-send
put the BTRFS_Subvolume_Manager_ServiceMenu_v1.0.tar.gz in a folder by it's self and extract it their , you should have 2 files and a folder ,,,,,

Vinny, it looks like you maybe running the earlier version. Navigate to ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ and see if your files are "Version 1.0" instead of less than version 1. The changes were a couple small typos but I also added the ability to use a custom name on-the-fly- when creating subvolume snapshots.
well no mater , I just grabbed the 1.0 version of the files and will insert them some time today.

Yes, I am a pro. All I have to do is write 5000 more of those and I'll start making some REAL money, LOL

It requires manual installation of sorts, but works pretty well. I even get paid when enough people download it. I got an whole $1.45 last month!
thanks again @oshunluvr

Other than snapper-gui (if you are on Cosmic or Disco), no.
A few tips, for command line usage and terrible typists such as myshelf:
I don't remember some commands I use constantly, as I cheat and use my up/down arrow keys to cycle through all my previous command history. As I don't use the cli all that regularly, it is not too hard for me to go back a week or more and find the one I need.
Making a cheat-sheet, copying the commands I use the most in a text file was also a tool I used to use.

Btrfs gui
Is there a good GUI for the main BTRFS options (snapshots, sending, receiving, deleting, etc.?) I often make typing errors the older I get and would like something more user-friendly than a terminal, as most of my errors using BTRFS commands have come from hitting the wrong key.Tags: None
