[Restore version picker gives wrong version number](https://github.com/duplicati/ngclient/issues/255)

[restore restores excess files whose names begin with selected file](https://github.com/duplicati/ngclient/issues/258)  
[restore does not restore file timestamp](https://github.com/duplicati/ngclient/issues/259)  
are now filed on 2.1.0.119 for these issues. Maybe the notes below will be helpful.

ngclient restore

- shows wrong version numbers (is it fileset ID?), but does restore chosen one
- doesn’t highlight restore selects, but does seem to notice what was selected
- shows files like they are folders, but unsurprisingly only folders really expand
- restores excess files, maybe due to considering them folders, so appending \*
- does not set file time at default setting unlike ngax, and maybe at any setting

When I was first poking at this, I had a simpler setup, and caught some `restore` traffic:

```plaintext
ngax did:

{time: "2025-05-26T20:02:20-04:00", restore_path: "C:\backup restore", overwrite: true,…}
overwrite
: 
true
passphrase
: 
""
paths
: 
["@C:\backup source\short.txt"]
permissions
: 
false
restore_path
: 
"C:\\backup restore"
time
: 
"2025-05-26T20:02:20-04:00"

```

```plaintext
ngclient did:

{paths: ["C:\backup source\short.txt*"], passphrase: null, time: "2025-05-27T00:02:20Z",…}
overwrite
: 
true
passphrase
: 
null
paths
: 
["C:\backup source\short.txt*"]
permissions
: 
false
restore_path
: 
"C:\\backup restore"
skip_metadata
: 
true
time
: 
"2025-05-27T00:02:20Z"

```

EDIT 1:

Seeing it ask for `short.txt*` inspired my `short.txt.zip`. Ask for `short.txt`, get both.  
I’m hazy on CLI restore syntax, but wouldn’t a true folder request have `\` near path end?

EDIT 2:

Testing that,

ngax asks for  
“paths”:[“[C:\\backup source\\FOLDER\_A\\.\*]”]

ngclient asks for  
“paths”:[“C:\backup source\FOLDER\_A\*”]

I’m not sure which is right, but both seem to work (except for file timestamps in ngclient).
