Bug Description

When clicking the 'Restore' button it would be useful to show a confirmation dialog (if not shown before this run) in case the button was pressed by mistake. This dialog could look something like:

Restore Files

Restore the selected files from snapshot? Current files
will be renamed.

  [Yes] [No]

Moreover, “Restore” button appears as a menu in KDE GUI, which is *way too* misleading.
