Error when trying to show current backup: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'~

[YYYasin19]

Hey,

I hope this wasn't already mentioned somewhere else (on first glance, I couldn't find an issue).
Everytime I try to look into the config of shallow-backup, I get the following error:

 ➜ shallow-backup -show

 #######################
 # SHALLOW BACKUP CONFIG
 #######################

 Backup Path: ~/shallow-backup

 Dotfiles: (Backup and Reinstall conditions will be shown if they exist)
 Traceback (most recent call last):

     for dotfile, options in contents.items():

Have I somehow broken my configuration file? Where is it located?

Thanks in advance!

Can you post your config and I'll take a look? Some better error handling could be added here, but I don't have the time. Happy to help with a PR though.

$ cat ~/.config/shallow-backup.conf

This is the configuration currently.

No idea what's going on here tbh. Config looks good to me.

Seems gone now after a reinstall (didn't reinstall just for this). Will open a PR if it comes up again and I find a fix.
Thanks, though!
