Hi.

I launched Grsync today for the first time.

Before doing anything (creating a session, entering src / dest information), I clicked on the "gears" icon thinking it would display a "Preferences" menu.

It started a synchronization.

It was a bit scary to see rsync launched on the machine without src / dest.

The logs read:

** Launching RSYNC command:
rsync -r -t -v --progress -s  

sending incremental file list
skipping non-regular file ".bash_aliases"
skipping non-regular file ".gitconfig"
skipping non-regular file ".mongorc.js"
...

and so on. Nothing was copied.

Shouldn't this button be greyed out until src and dest parameters are set ?

Also, perhaps a more explicit icon could be used, For instance, the Grsync icon itself.

Thanks.

    Thanks for reporting. The icon will be changed, it was reported earlier as well.

    For the record: The icon was changed to a 'Play' button meanwhile.
