I enabled all those same as your first image.
When you update does it take snapshots?
That should be fine.
it will if you install snap-pac.
So when does it take snapshots then on it’s own?
Hourly.

Okay so how do you want me to test it using it?

Once you get some snapshots, you should try restoring snapshots and make sure that works.
Also, feel free to play with it and let me know if anything is broken.

So far i like it. I thought there was going to be a lot more to setting it up with Btrfs subvolumes and what ever because i know nothing about it. This will be good for users who want btrfs and snapshots because it is simple to install and set up now that i know.

That was generally the idea behind the application. To make snapper easy like timeshift but still have all the power and flexibility of snapper available.

The biggest problem i find and i get really frustrated because there are just too many different explanations how to do something. It’s not just one guide. It’s like everyone has a different way of doing something and if you try to google it it’s ridiculous. A lot of information is just inferior or wrong or nonsense. The Arch wiki is difficult because they don’t explain how to do things in a step by step procedure. They just spew information and expect you to understand what to do.
I appreciate the help and the guidance. I just wanted to help test it since i had btrfs on here not that i understand it but would like to.

I would just use this app…
It has everything you need… It has snapper, snapper cleanup, balance, scrub, trim, restore…
You don’t need anything else to run btrfs at full capacity…
Of course it’s the first release, which means its just going to get better…
Edit: it includes snapper-gui…
Edit2: I’m kind of afraid of installing it for now because if something goes wrong and for some reason I need to reinstall EnOS, I’ll probably have to remove my Windows SSD… (last time I lost my Windows UEFI entry), I have a particular setup here that doesn’t like calamares
What’s hard is trying to understand this when you install it with calamares and you have to edit it to create the other subvolumes and then have to change everything and add stuff. Then if you try to follow another guide it’s different. It’s just very frustrating to to learn something and understand it when every time you turn it’s different. I liked what we had and it worked but then when i went to copy over the stuff i lost the snapshots. So in the end now i have this. I just wish it was easier to understand. I have no issue having to reinstall and all that. It doesn’t bother me a bit. I can do all those things with my eyes closed and fast. But when you don’t know where you are going it’s easy to get lost.
That is what this app is all about.
According to Dalto, everything will happen transparently, no changes to calamares will be needed…
You will be able to restore snapshots pretty easily…
Now, you have a clean KDE install, so just tune this app the way you like it, test and report bugs…
I wish I had this opportunity yesterday before reinstalling…

Okay. What’s this? I think it’s it’s bug!
It say’s you have lots of free space, did you over buy?
I ran into the same issue the @ricklinux had with moving my snapshots from @snapshots to a nested subvolume under /. Once I deleted the snapshots and recreated a new /.snapshots subvolume, all is well. The interface looks really cool; coming from Linux Mint, I was used to how Timeshift worked, but Snapper is so much more flexible and this should make things easier to work with.
What other functionalities are you planning in the future?
This is a very interesting tool, i would love to use it when its stable, im not sure if i can recover on my own if my btrfs drive went poof when using this so im not risking it.

That is because there is no one way to do things. Everyone has a different way of doing it.
Since it is sometimes hard for me to tell if you are serious or not, I will just say, no, not a bug. 
Yes, the instructions in that post are wrong. I will look at them and see if I can figure out why.
Most of the functionality changes come from user requests. I am big on involving the community in the release and development process.
Here is what I have planned so far:
- Full support for
btrfsmaintenanceand making it optional. - More info added to the snapper snapshot display grid.
- Add the ability to set a description when taking a manual snapshot
That being said, I won’t start working on any of those until I get this version released cleanly.

You guys might as well just install snapper-support from AUR to automatically setup the system for Snapper snapshotting
