#7 add the "list" like as teracopy?

[manuel muzzurru]

hello

i start to love it, it's very important fot to use it, but i wish to say you for enhanchments:

1-new area gui for LIST like as teracopy, it's possible?because? my wife is not expert computer, my grandmother, grandfather will use this grsync for sure to copy to pendrive or hdd ext..

2-drag and drop for area list? because? my wife is not expert computer, my grandmother, grandfather will use this grsync for sure to copy to pendrive or hdd ext..

add new button for "checksum" first tab or first page or "on top" toolbar because my wife or grandmother are inattention, so needed "on top", because actual: checksum is hide to second tabs..

after copied and need to show "all checksum are corrects" this is missed to print window..
teracopy has button on top (icons) and has showed checksum green led or icon of "verificed"

teracopy is freeware but not sopport to port linux, so grsync yes on linux..
so i need to say you for enhanchments ok?
thank you for create grsync!!

Hello,

An interface for selecting multiple files or folders is already in my todo list. If it'll have drag and drop functionality will depend on the GTK widget used (I think it should).
About the checksum setting, I think it should stay as an "advanced" one, because most people don't need it: checking the date and size of the files is enough to know if they have changed, and it's also much faster. Please also not that checksum is used for "knowing if the file has changed", not for "knowing if the file has been copied correctly". This is how rsync works. In order to check the files with checksum you would need to run it two times: the first without checksum and the second with.

hello thank you for reply here,

for you: checksum to "advenced", for me ok, i respect you ok?
i wish to use "knowing if the file has been copied correctly" this mean: file is not lose bit, like as identical file 100%, did you see teracopy? teracopy uses CRC for verifier..

i know if i want to verifier time is up and not fast, i'm not important for speed but i 'm important PRECISE data copied, not corrupt data (bit) , i wanted to say this ok?

for drag and drop: it's true easy to use.

but i have little problem:
-button for source and button for destination are not style button like as invisible..need to visibile style of button..

-button for source and button for destination are not clarify for FILE or FOLDER..
you can care about this ? example "open from folder..." and "open from file..."
what do you think this?

thank you

Grsync is a guy for rsync. I can't add functionality to rsync itsef.
As far as how rsync works, here is a little explanation:

rsync always uses checksums to verify that a file was transferred correctly. If the remote file already exists, rsync may skip updating the file if the modification time and size match the source file, but if rsync decides that data need to be transferred, checksums are always used on the data transferred between the sending and receiving rsync processes. This verifies that the data received are the same as the data sent with high probability, without the heavy overheard of a byte-level comparison over the network.

Once the file data are received, rsync writes the data to the file and trusts that if the kernel indicates a successful write, the data were written without corruption to disk. rsync does not reread the data and compare against the known checksum as an additional check.

About:

"-button for source and button for destination are not style button like as invisible..need to visibile style of button.."

I don't understand what you mean.
