As the title goes... how good news to have someone geting a fresh updated version of rclonebrowser! Thanks for it!

My memory is becoming weak.... but I remember tasks being saved in a file that was not possible to "human" edit and that location parameters could not be specified, either of config files or the file itself, that is, are hard wired.

This brings two challenges, a kind of portability issue but more damaging the unability to use it with more than a single rclone configuration file. So, reclone broser tasks become linked to just one reclone config file.

Could I ask you to evolve the task file design so to allow selecting different task files?
Ideally, a task file should be somewhat linked to a rclone config.

On the other challenge, tasks file format avos human editing - such as with notepad - to copy paste and edit existing tasks. This could be solved with a simple offline program that would export current format to text based and able to create current format from text based. Perhaps normal text based task config file would be the easies path - really I cannot understand why current task file format was the choice of the author ...

From my point of view, this would open more the use of the tasks and bring the browser to its max..

Thanks for reading!

@caspertone2003 I haven't tried this version, but on Kapitainsky's version, when a job is running you can click on the copy icon of a given task to copy the commands to the clipboard. I've saved all my tasks this way to text files in case I want to run them from Windows Task Scheduler. You'd still have to manually re-create the task on a different machine, but you'd have a guide if you copied and stored the commands in a text file.

Thanks, I know you can get a copy of the command line that the tasks triggers. But as you point, you have to manually re-create the tasks. Perhaps the new task is just to download a different file or to mount a different drive. How convinient would be to clone tasks or to be able to edit the tasks config file...
