Describe the bug
Command line (on headless system) apparently cannot exclude directories.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install timeshift on a headless system.
  2. Open terminal and use sudo timeshift --create --comments "OMV5-A" --tags M --snapshot-device /dev/sdc1 --filter="/srv/dev" or sudo timeshift --create --comments "OMV5-A" --tags M --snapshot-device /dev/sdc1 --exclude="/srv/dev"
    to exclude certain directories from the timeshift snapshot.
  3. Error message: E: Invalid command line arguments: --filter=/srv/dev*

Expected behavior
Command line timeshift should apply the specified exclude/filter to exclude directories.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
