Improvement:

Script:

• Grub-menu:

  • Now displays the following information in separate columns:
    • Date of snapshot
    • Path of snapshot
    • Type/Tags of snapshot if available (snapper/timeshift)
    • Description/Comments of snapshot if available (snapper/timeshift)
  • Possibility to display only the desired information(s) (see config file).
  • Adds a header for the column title.

• Boot partition detection:

  • grub-btrfs is now able to detect if the boot folder/partition is a subvolume.
    • GRUB_BTRFS_OVERRIDE_BOOT_PARTITION_DETECTION should no longer be needed for this case.

• Make path of grub-mkconfig_lib configurable:

  • Remove datarootdir variable, is no longer used
  • Replace $datarootdir/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib with ${GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG_LIB:-/usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib}

Config file:

• GRUB_BTRFS_TITLE_FORMAT:

  • Shows/Hides "date" "snapshot" "type" "description" in the Grub menu, custom order available.
    Default: ("date" "snapshot" "type" "description")

• GRUB_BTRFS_IGNORE_SNAPPER_TYPE:

  • Rename to GRUB_BTRFS_IGNORE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE
    • Supports both timeshift and snapper tags/type.

• GRUB_BTRFS_IGNORE_SNAPPER_DESCRIPTION:

  • Rename to GRUB_BTRFS_IGNORE_SNAPSHOT_DESCRIPTION
    • Supports both snapper and timeshift description/comments.

• GRUB_BTRFS_OVERRIDE_BOOT_PARTITION_DETECTION:

  • grub-btrfs is now able to detect if the boot folder/partition is a subvolume.
    Activating this parameter should no longer be necessary for this case.

• GRUB_BTRFS_SCRIPT_CHECK:

  • Make name of grub-script-check configurable.
    • Might be grub2-script-check on some systems (Fedora ...).

• GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG_LIB:

  • Make path of grub-mkconfig_lib file configurable.
    • Might be /usr/share/grub2/grub-mkconfig_lib on some systems (Opensuse ...)
