This adds the ability to export archives to tarballs directly from the UI, wrapping the 'borg export-tar' command. Changes: - Added 'BorgExportTar' class to handle command construction (supports both Borg 1.x and future versions). - Created 'ExportTarDialog' UI to capture export options: - Destination path - Compression mode (auto-detects from filename or manual selection) - Number of path components to strip - Added 'Export to Tarball' action to the Archive tab context menu. - Added comprehensive unit tests for the dialog logic and command generation.
Adds support for: - Exclude patterns (--exclude) - Specific path extraction - Tar format selection (--tar-format, for Borg V2) - Updates UI to include these new fields.

Description
This PR implements the "Export to Tarball" feature by wrapping the
borg export-tarcommand. It allows users to export an existing archive to a compressed tarball directly from the Vorta UI.Detailed Changes:
BorgExportTarclass (src/vorta/borg/export_tar.py) to construct the borg command with proper flags, including support forborg1.x syntax.ExportTarDialog(src/vorta/views/export_tar_dialog.pyand corresponding.uifile).--strip-components.src/vorta/views/archive_tab.py).tests/unit/test_export_tar.py: Verifies command string generation.tests/unit/test_export_tar_dialog.py: Verifies dialog logic, auto-compression detection, and job submission.Related Issue
Closes #2406
Motivation and Context
borg export-taris a core BorgBackup feature that was missing from the Vorta GUI. Users previously had to use the command line to export archives to standalone files. This addition streamlines the restore/export workflow for users who need to transfer data to systems without Borg installed.How Has This Been Tested?
Environment: Linux (Ubuntu/Debian), Python 3.12, Qt6 via PyQt6.
/tmp/test.tar.gz.tar -tvf).pytest tests/unit/test_export_tar.pyandtests/unit/test_export_tar_dialog.py.pre-commithooks pass (Ruff formatting, whitespace checks).Screenshots (if appropriate):
