Bit freezes when selecting one of several backup folders
Hi, I have Bit 1.0.7 (on my Ubuntu 12.04) installed since yesterday - using it for the first time. The first snapshot (1.6 Tb) worked seemingly. It is from one external Hd to another. I have six backup folders. Now, when I select one of them - (it happens always with the same - it has 125000 files and 194.7 Gb) Bit freezes. (That is the app window gets darkened and doesn't react.)
What can I do?
When I look into the the backup folder with nautilus everything seems ok. So I am not in a hurry for the moment, since at least one backup is there.
(What keeps me from re-installing Bit is the following: When I tried to do the the first snapshot, I had my power settings to stand-by after two hours inactivity. Nevertheless while running the backup the machine went to stand-by during the night. Next day the whole 600 or so Gb (out of 1.6Tb) that had already been backed up, had disappeared. So I concluded that Bit didn't seem to be able to resume.)
I like Bit for its simplicity and because I can browse the backup, unlike Deja'dup.
Edit: Only now did I notice that after some 15 minutes or so Bit resurfaces and I can browse the problem-folder from within Bit in the Now-view as well as the Snapshot-view. However, each time I select this or that other folder, it darkens again. Is that normal behaviour or should I worry? I mean - as long as Bit doesn't make any mistakes, I can live with that.
The problem with that one folder is - I guess - that the number of files is quite large, while its size is actually far smaller than the other folders.
