Hello, It should already be like that: grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_user_config_dir(), "/grsync", NULL); if (!g_file_test(grsync_dir, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) { g_free(grsync_dir); grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_home_dir(), "/.grsync", NULL); if (!g_file_test(grsync_dir, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) { g_free(grsync_dir); grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_user_config_dir(), "/grsync", NULL); } } i.e. it tries to load from .config/grsync, if it doesn't find it it tries...

Massimo posted a comment on ticket #27
I don't know how to communicate effectively with the 'ubuntu maintainer'. I read about 'grsync' on the website 'https://www.opbyte.it/grsync/' , where I read that version 1.3.1 is available. I also downloaded the 'grsync-1.3.1.tar.gz' file but I couldn't find a way to install it on Ubuntu 24.04. In the end the 'sudo apt install' cmd gave me version 1.3.0. Normally I use 2 ways: 1) use PPA and sudo install cmd or 2) open .deb file with Ubuntu Software Center. But nothing of this works. I really like...

Hello, This is a question for the ubuntu maintainer. Anyway, did you have a look at launchpad to see if the version you want is available there?

Hello, The feature is already available: click the file menu and "rsync command line". Also, the output panel is made selectable and copyable at the end of the run.

Copy of command line construction (for pasting elsewhere)

Hello, Thanks for your post. 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...
-
Jean-Sebastien Guay posted a comment on ticket #14
Hello, 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...

Thanks 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? I already checked on my pretty standard...

<REDACTED> posted a comment on ticket #19
I reopen the topic to support the need for an option to choose the language. as proposed by @ Giorgos . on my system (kde plasma 6.3) it is the only application resistant to locale modification. upon installation it is in French but after a one-off event such as a locale update it becomes English again. It is frustrating to spend your time playing in the system settings (gui/cli) to try to obtain an interface in the system language. modifying the files /etc/locale.conf ; /etc/locale.gen does not...

I find sharing files and setting up a network to be too much trouble so i like rsync because it gives me a no fuss way to transfer files on all pc's in the house. Grsync makes it easier than the command line BUT since I am not shared I cannot "see" files and directories on other pc's with file button. I use rsync daemons without ssh on my physically secure network. Rsync can list the directories and files on any module but the list is onerous.

Did you try to to check the "Windows Compatibility" checkbox? There seems to be some slight differences in timestamp on Samba shares and setting it to --modify-window=1 or --modify-window=2 has helped me fix a very similar issue to yours with files getting copied over and over. and yes, this is nor a grsync issue, you might even argue that it's not even an rsync issue.

A crontab entry is made of crontab specific stuff plus a command. The command part is what the grsync feature shows you, and can be used in many environments like, simply, run from a shell terminal.

Hi that was quick, had not notice that before. Great Response. Magic bit of software.
-
Hi David, You can do it in grsync by clicking the file menu and "rsync command line", or use the alt-r shortcut.
-
Hi as a novice user though I have been using linux for many a year, age and memory, are an hindrance to understanding how it works from the manual/help files. I am making an assumption, which may be completely wrong, you evoke an rsync command from the graphical "grsync" interface could you have an option to display the rsync command that would be generated so that may be used in crontab or other automation scripts Best Regards

Thanks for this. 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. Any comment?

As instructed in the Opbyte.It grsync download page, I have attempted to compile grsync 1.4.1 with the simple command string './configure && make'. There are fatal errors listed in the config.log (attached) which are beyond my ability to understand, as a user. I'm not a developer. Any advice from knowledgeable users?

Hello! I just had a look at the icons and the source distribution provides a 128x128 PNG, I also see it installed in my ubuntu distro from the deb package, so I think you can use that. Regarding the metainfo.xml file, I think it's this one: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/ I will keep this ticket for that, maybe someone with knowledge of the format, or yourself, can help with this? :-)

How do you do? This is my first posting. As Grsync is missing Japanese translation at present, I have made ja_JP.po for it. The Japanese po file has been uploaded to my Github repository at: https://github.com/usergreen/green/blob/main/grsync/ja_JP.po I hope it would be useful for the project. Yours truly, Green

I would suggest taking the opportunity to remove the Quit button. There's no reason for that button to exist, it is redundant with the window manager's close (X) button, and standard keyboard shortcuts. If the tall button on the right of the two Open buttons was meant to serve as a way to switch the two paths around, then it should remain a tall button that spans the height of the two rows, for clarity; the (?) help button could instead be moved to be into the GtkEntry of the source path (if its...

Maybe try to investigate if the mount options make any difference, or if rsync works the same from another PC. Running rsync directly from the command line without GUI will help. Just some ideas, as it may be anything :-)

Oh, I think this might not be a Grsync issue. I just installed another rsync wrapper and got exactly the same result. - I shall do a forced reinstall of rsync - if that fails, I will try another non ubuntu based distro, if that fails then I will have to accept there is something wrong with the NAS itself.

Hello, Thanks for your report. I just tried version 1.3.0, which comes standard in ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and it doesn't have this issue. Also tried 1.3.1 (which is not officially released yet) and works the same, regardless of the rsync output being open or not. I have no way to reproduce this issue, so I will keep it pending for a while, in case a way to reproduce (or a solution) is provided.
