#26 Copy of command line construction (for pasting elsewhere)
grsync is the go to utility for a GUI to rsync not least because it's so conveniently packed in repos (at the very least Ubuntu and Mint). So I am often turning to it.
Sometimes I'd like to use it to compile an rsync command and run the command at the bash prompt though Notably if like just recently (prompting the timing of this request) I return tot he screen to find it gone and the copy not complete. My inclination is to retry in a terminal where I'd see more likely final words form rsync.
To wit I'd like to copy the rsync command that gsrync produces. Alas on it's output the panel showing the command cannot is stubborn read only (i.e. cannot even select text in it to copy it out0> IMHO generally being able to copy text out of such a panel is advantageous and useful.
I wonder if we could make that a reality in the grsync GUI?
It might even be nice to have a formal place to see the currently constructed rsync command and be able to copy it to clipboard for use in a term. So that grsync becomes doubly useful as a GUI for creating command lines (and not having to look up again what the CLI options are for preserving symlinks and hard links etc..
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.
