Grsync hidden dirs

Ubuntu Version:24.04.3 LTS

Trying to get used to Grsync. Back when deja-dup still worked, I routinely backed up my .thunderbird dir. I can’t find a way to get grsync to accept a hidden dir as source. Even with the ¨run as superuser”extra option, it will not display any hidden dirs. From other posts I’ve seen, it appears Rsync can do that, so it would make sense for Grsync also to be able to do that.

Just use absolute paths.
Ex. /home/<username>/.thunderbird

Or if you’re using the snap packaged thunderbird
/home/<username>/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird

Thanks! I must be getting senile - forgot I did just that 2 years ago. Dry and live runs look good.
