What I'm trying to do and why

List the files in an archive

Other notes / implementation ideas

run
$ borgmatic list -a archive-name-2022-02-22-22:22

This would then output the files, just like

borg list /repository/location:name::archive-name-2022-02-22-22:22

Environment

Borgmatic version: 1.5.23

Borgmatic installation method: pip3

Borg version: 1.2.0

Python version:
pip 22.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/pip (python 3.9)

operating system and version: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

Thanks for filing. This looks like a regression! It should be listing files in the given archive. I need to look into this and find out what's going on.

Aha! Not a regression, but instead the wrong argument. Try this instead:

borgmatic list --archive archive-name-2022-02-22-22:22

The -a flag, in contrast, is the short form of --glob-archives.. which is a flag for filtering the full list of archives in a repository. But not for selecting a single archive to list. Confusing, I know.

Let me know if the --archive flag works for you!

Yep, it's indeed --archive that does exactly what I want :)

You might want to put that somewhere in the documentation? As most places, -a is documented as "a shorthand for --archive", which is in this case it isn't.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Glad to hear it does what you need. Do you know of any places where -a is documented as a "a shorthand for --archive"? I'd like to fix them or let the author know to fix them. Thanks!

Nope, I've mixed up the Borg documentation, Borgmatic documentation and the shorthands available, and my brain turned it in to "-a should work" and got confused when it didn't.

Entirely PEBKAC! (mine, that is)

Okay, no worries! I agree that -a would be intuitive!
