jdFlatpakSnapshot is a graphical utility for creating and restoring snapshots of data associated with Flatpak applications. It provides a straightforward way to preserve application settings and other stored data before making changes that might need to be reversed.
The utility displays installed applications and lets users select which application’s data they want to preserve. Once a snapshot has been created, the saved data can be restored if changes to the application cause problems or produce unwanted results.
For example, users can create a snapshot before experimenting with configuration settings, modifying an application’s data or making other changes that could affect its behaviour. If the outcome is unsatisfactory, they can restore the earlier state without manually reconstructing the original settings.
jdFlatpakSnapshot saves application data and records the application’s version, but it does not include the application itself in the snapshot. It is written in Python and uses Qt for its graphical interface.
This is free and open source software.
