moving Repository: Archive: Columns "size" and "time" #689

Description

@Golddouble

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I move my Repository to another place, I use "Disconnect repository". Then I move my Folder that contains the Backup to another place. Then I go to "Add existing repository" and choose the new place.
Then I go to the "archive" tab. -> In the size and time column all infos are deleted.

Describe the solution you'd like
Save this information also in the folder of the backup, so that this infos can be brought back again.

    The issue is that it could cause deleted repositories to take up space in the database.

    Some possible solutions:

    • Dialog box to see if user wants to delete data
      Kind of bad, since there is no way for user to delete data later. I also prefer keeping dialog boxes to a minimum.
    • Keep data, and delete it after N days, similar to old logs
      Have to store deletion date in DB, cannot use existing archive time attribute.

    Where exactly are this data (size and time) saved at the moment? In which path?

    They are stored in the database, specifically archivetablemodel. The database is in ~/.local/share/Vorta on Linux.

    Thank you. But I have not found this folder in my flatpack version on Linux. Is it in another folder in the flatpack version?

    For flatpak, it is ~/.var/app/com.borgbase.Vorta/data/Vorta
