I think it's an additional feature: I won't replace the current one as it's been like that for almost 20 years and it has its uses. Cheers!Piero OrsoniMon, 30 Mar 2026 10:26:06 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/28/?limit=25#2820https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/28/Switch source with destination button should preserve intuitive paths meSun, 29 Mar 2026 00:23:40 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/28/https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/discussion/1085771/thread/7b5c7c9a2d/?limit=25#2917/1a98/b194/33b4/a907Don't worry: I don't remember how I used to do it years ago 🤣 Maybe someone else recalls? Anyway, having the command line passed through a shell for expansion is on my todo list. I just need to make sure there are no possible security issues in the feature.Piero OrsoniTue, 13 Jan 2026 12:43:43 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/discussion/1085771/thread/7b5c7c9a2d/?limit=25#2917/1a98/b194/33b4/a907https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/discussion/1085771/thread/7b5c7c9a2d/?limit=25#2917/1a98/b194/33b4And for what it's worth, putting just sh or bash in that field doesn't throw an error, but neither does it have any effect on expanding variables. I feel like I should mention, if it isn't already very obvious, that I'm new to Linux and not a programmer. I'm coming from Windows, and my goal is to set up Linux in such a way that I can deal with it with the minimum possible command-line work in the future.

Can this prepending be done in the Grsync app, or does it need to be through the command line? I tried putting sh -c in the "Extra options > Execute this command before rsync" field, and I got this error: ** Launching BEFORE command: sh -c Error launching command! I also tried bash -c, to the same effect. If it needs to be through the command line, then it's redundant and I'm back to square one in that regard.Clifford BanesFri, 02 Jan 2026 17:05:10 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/discussion/1085771/thread/7b5c7c9a2d/?limit=25#2917/1a98/b194https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/discussion/1085771/thread/7b5c7c9a2d/?limit=25#2917/1a98Dear Clifford, The reason why running rsync from a shell works is because it's the shell itself expanding the variables. Normally, grsync runs rsync without passing through a shell, that's why there's no expansion in that case. I'm planning to add a session checkbox to "pass command through a shell" for that reason; meanwhile, you can do the same by prepending the command with "sh -c", or something like that. Have a nice day!

The main problem about progress display is that it's computed by rsync itself, and grsync is just displaying the rsync output graphically. I would need to fully reimplement the progress calculations in grsync and use that instead of rsync's, but that would make little sense, cause it would be much better to do the same job on the rsync code instead, so everyone would enjoy it, not just grsync users. I would, first of all, suggest to direct all progress related questions...Piero OrsoniMon, 23 Jun 2025 14:03:46 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/14/?limit=25#8284https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/14/?limit=25#c12bHello, I agree that anything that could be done to improve the progress display and ETA would be appreciated. The suggestion above sounds like one good way to accomplish this, but any way that would not significantly affect total run time would be great. Also, rsync --progress shows the speed (MB/s), which would be nice to see on grsync's progress display as well. Maybe a summary of stats at the end would be interesting too (total time, average speed). And if anything at all is possible, then maybe...Jean-Sebastien GuayThu, 22 May 2025 15:13:52 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/feature-requests/14/?limit=25#c12bhttps://sourceforge.net/p/grsync/bugs/19/?limit=25#b59aThanks for your report. Honestly, I don't think that every application with a GUI should have a language choice in the settings. In fact, most do not. If the language setting through the standard procedure doesn't work, it's either a problem of the build setup or the build itself, which is specific to the distribution and the version. Would you be so kind as to try on another distribution and/or version to see whether the problem is always there and the same?

Having specified a value for DISPLAY (I used "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0), grsync is still not invoked. Am I misunderstanding what this crontab entry would do, when I set it up correctly? From my reading I now think this crontab will only start the GUI (which is why DISPLAY needs to be set). In contrast I want grsync to run the session I have specified - I do not need to see the GUI.
