here is the output of list-broken-files after removing a dblock file
I have marked the lines that are hidden by not having the Information level, the lines without the stars are the default output. What are the ones that in your opinion are missing and are vital to understanding what is happening ? It would be easy and riskless to change the Information to Warning in the code (that is it could be in next Canary without problem)
**The operation ListBrokenFiles has started**
**No broken filesets found in database, checking for missing remote files**
**Backend event: List - Started: ()**
** Listing remote folder ...**
**Backend event: List - Completed: (105 bytes)**
**Marked 1 remote files for deletion**

**Return code: 0**
My point of view is that the main problems in the default output are that:
- the ‘4’ is the fileset number (it’s easy to understand, if you know Duplicati)
- the 7 vs 4 discrepancy is because the 7 refers to the total number of file entries, while the 4 refers to
the files, that is, there are 3 directories that are backed up in the missing block.
But I don’t see the really vital information that we are missing in the extra lines.
Edit:
I forgot to say that displaying
Marked 1 remote files for deletion
in the default output in list-broken-files would be false information. List-broken-files does not mark remote files for deletion. Purge-broken-files does, but both functions use common code.
