Missing restore specific deja-dup file option in caja contextual menu

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hi everyone,
I've done 20.04 minimal installation and then reinstalled deja-dup packages figured in removal ubuntu-seeds list rev304.
Packages figured:

Deja Dup

deja-dup
deja-dup-caja
duplicity
gir1.2-caja-2.0
gir1.2-gtk-3.0
libgoa-1.0-0b
libnautilus-extension1a
librsync1
librsync2
python3-bcrypt
python3-fasteners
python3-future
python3-lib2to3
python3-lockfile
python3-monotonic
python3-paramiko

Also I've removed caja-sendto and caja-eiciel by no use. All procedure was great in Bionic, but in Focal I've noticed that restore specific deja-dup file option in caja contextual menu is not present (not restoring all files in a path). Deja-dup restoring and storage configuration is ok, so which package is needed if this is the case?

TIA

For sure please share the screenshot of caja-file-management-properties - the Extensions tab.
Do you have Restore Missing Files, Revert to Previous Version... and Backup in the menus?

I have never used Deja-Dup with Caja, but I remember that it writes some errors to terminal as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup-caja/+bug/1863498 on Caja open and on opening of drop-down menu. So this bug may be related to your problems.

Hi Nobert, thanks,
-Revert to Previous Version- is missing. Probably is a bug. There's no menu option.
Thanks to report it in launchpad.net

We got a fix from developer. You have to apply the patch locally

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup-caja/+bug/1863498/+attachment/5376597/+files/dejadup.patch
sudo patch /usr/share/caja-python/extensions/dejadup.py < dejadup.patch

Hope we will get it as normal deb-package soon.
