Multiselect to run multiple tasks

[FoxP]

Hello, thank you very much for RcloneBrowser! 👍

It is possible to add a way to multi-select jobs from "Task" tab then click to the "Run" button to run them one by one, from top to bottom ?

A "for each" in selected tasks. 😃

Thanks in advance!
Best regards

[kapitainsky]

Nope. There is no multi select implemented. As you probably noticed there is bare minimum done to make sure tasks can be used. They can be me massively improved - I agree - but step by step:)

No problem, it was an enhancement request. :)
I also did a C# GUI for rclone some months ago, but yours is far better.

[kapitainsky]

Maybe you would like to look at Rclone Browser code and improve it? Pretty much all is missing there... it would be great if tasks can be sorted, rearranged by drug and drop (this is actually one line of code - but I failed to make changes persistent). Multi run etc..

[kapitainsky]

I am at the moment working on better look and feel + better handling remotes when somebody has many...

Here are my test branch screenshots what is coming:

[kapitainsky]

Also it would be nice to add some sort of scheduler to tasks. You are more than welcome to help with Rclone Browser. More people get involved than better it will become

[FoxP]

I'm not very good at C++, my main languages are C# / Python.
Nice look and feel, the testing branch looks interesting!

[kapitainsky]

I have implemented multiple tasks selection.. Would you be interested to try beta version?

If yes let me know what is your operating system and I will release one.

[FoxP]

Oh, cool! Yes, for Windows please. 👍
Do you run selected tasks in selected order ? Or from top to bottom ?
If from top to bottom, is there a way to edit tasks order ?
Do you run all selected tasks one by one ? Or all at once ?

I mainly use rclone for online backups so in my opinion :

• running selected tasks from top to bottom is better, if you can edit tasks order
• running tasks one by one is better as you may want to copy some data at a specific location, then upload it somewhere else. Plus, running all tasks at once may DDOS the storage system because i guess you start them in separate threads

[kapitainsky]

At the moment it is just multi select - and run all at once. I was also thinking about adding some sort of simple queue. But it is not there yet. Maybe somebody will take on this task:)

I mainly use rclone for online backups so in my opinion :

* running selected tasks from top to bottom is better, if you can edit tasks order

tasks are now sorted alphabetically - A->Z or Z->Z, so you can control order in some way

* running tasks one by one is better as you may want to copy some data at a specific location, then upload it somewhere else. Plus, running all tasks at once may DDOS the storage system because i guess you start them in separate threads

I am thinking about "Queue" mechanism - you add tasks to the queue. newly added task are at the bottom. Queue is processed from the top.

But it is future project.

In the meantime I will release beta Windows version so you can have a look and test.

Please let me know if you have any comments what can be improved.

[FoxP]

Oops. If i press Edit on a task, the app crashes. Same with File -> Preferences.

weird... but definitely has to be fixed

[FoxP]

Is there a way to generate logs to help you?

[kapitainsky]

I know what happened. I build it with wrong Qt. Correct one in few mins

Working one

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq335pidOrBV3-hBew4Haw4QybPetQ

There is bug in Qt (I've got ticket open with Qt authors) - so I use different versions in every environment. Easy to mess things up. But this time I tested:) this is working one

[FoxP]

Its works very well. 👍

Some comments :

• Msgbox for "run" button shows the "dry-run" message :

• CTRL+A and Shift + selection are nice additions, thanks.

• The "Sort" button does the job, i renamed all my jobs accordingly.

• Selection is not sorted from top to bottom, that's nice if you add a "queue" feature in the future :

• Font size is not consistent between "Tasks" and "Jobs" tabs :

• Is it possible to edit following fields?

• Some ideas :

[kapitainsky]

Any feedback welcomed. It is big work in progress atm. So some glitches are expected. Said that I only release stable code so it is definitely usable. More things live in my alpha versions but they are not ready for trying yet.

Also good that you test it on windows. I do all dev on Mac so windows testing is always behind. It is real PITA trying to keep all three platforms working consistently.

[kapitainsky]

Also note that things like rclone check, get tree etc are no longer blocking main window. They all run modeless windows.

[FoxP]

I edited my previous comment.
Don't hesitate to ask for tests, will be happy to help.

[FoxP]

That's nice!
Maybe one issue : Modeless windows, but they are still set as "topmost".

[kapitainsky]

Maybe one issue : Modeless windows, but they are still set as "topmost".

It is not the same on macOS and Linux where it works as intended. Another example of cross platform app dev fun:) It is simple time wise impossible to test all aspects of all environments for me so your help is really appreciated.

[FoxP]

Oh, shame on Qt.

[kapitainsky]

another beta ready - with added tasks queue processing.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq335pidOrBV3-hEcyYkwUGHh1ua8Q

Let me know what you think.

[FoxP]

Works perfectly! Very (very) good job. Everything is so polished for a "beta".
Some comments :

• Rclone Browser should not blink in taskbar for each ending task from a queue (?)
• Queue is still running even when finished :
  
• It is possible to add same task twice to queue, not sure if wanted
• After a click on the "Add" button from "Tasks" tab, task selection should (?) be cleared
• CTRL+A and SHIFT+selection shortcuts not possible ATM
• No multiselection for up, down and remove buttons in Queue tab
• Maybe you should also add the up and down buttons in "Tasks" tab as selection order in this tab is not kept when sent to queue
• Difficult to distinguish "upload" and "download" tasks since icons are very similar :
  
• It would be great to be able to shutdown, hibernate computer, or run a user-defined command line at the end of the queue. Killer feature for me!
• On a 1080p screen :
  
• "Purge" button was enabled with only one (running) task from queue. After a click on it, it is now disabled :

Your ps file. I relyon QT backend to decide if file is executable or not. You can always type it’s path/name by hand I think. Then nothing is checked

[thanamaha2002]

I want to ask something from @FoxP, it's nothing to do with the issue but what software you use to record screen and turn to GIF?

[FoxP]

Bat files work. But output is not sent to console. Try to redirect output to file in your bat file and you will see that file is created.

You are right! Works perfectly.

Another two weeks and I will release it. Would be great you use the latest “beta”. And if any issues let me know.

No problem, I always use your testing versions instead of latest stable release.

Good approach. Thanks for this.

[FoxP]

@thanamaha2002 : i use oCam, but ScreenToGif may be better.

[FoxP]

Did some additional testing : works perfectly. 👍

[kapitainsky]

By any chance do you have maybe simple bat script putting Windows computer to sleep? I could include it in the next release as sample script to use

[FoxP]

You can use this .bat script to hibernate (not sleep) :

cd c:\
shutdown /h

...or use this, i had some free time : https://github.com/FoxP/RcloneBrowserLauncher

[kapitainsky]

Your Launcher is nice thing! I like it

[kapitainsky]

I keep working on new version so will share next beta soon. I am re writing completely mount feature. Now you will be able to mount to letter or folder, save mount as a task, run it every time RB starts and also run custom script so you can add things like cache warming etc.

[FoxP]

Thanks!

A "Close Rclone Browser when finished" for tasks queue could be a good addition for Rclone Browser, in my opinion. I can implement it in my launcher, but it can be done easier on your side.

Also, one question : What is Rclone Browser default install path on Windows? I can't find it as the setup.exe keep my custom install path for each update.

Wow, nice addition!
The "Run saved task every time Rclone Browser starts" is an EXCELLENT idea! 👍 👍 👍

I only intend it add this to mount tasks.

Normal tasks will have scheduler one day:)

[kapitainsky]

if you install for "All users" - C:\Program Files\Rclone Browser
if you install only for yourself - C:\Users\dariusz\AppData\Local\Programs\Rclone Browser

[kapitainsky]

Also with next beta I will move this chat to new "issue" - this one is already too long:)

I see sense in hibernation when job done but closing app itself only? Why somebody would do it? Especially there is no history or log at the moment - only way to check if all went ok is to look at jobs.

Like FreeFileSync, but rclone-based. Perfection. :)

Thanks, added to the README.md file of my launcher.

It was just an idea, it could auto-close itself at the end of the queue (if checked somewhere) if no error. This way, no need to have a look at jobs list.

[kapitainsky]

next beta here:

#93 (comment)

with vastly improved mounting

[FoxP]

Something weird, having my script at this location works :
C:\Users\Blabla\Downloads\test\RcloneBrowserLauncher.exe
...but not at this location :
D:\Documents\Code source\RcloneBrowserLauncher\RcloneBrowserLauncher\bin\Release\RcloneBrowserLauncher.exe

Because of space in path? (between "Code" and "source")

[kapitainsky]

This is script run after queue is finished? or new mount one?

After queue is finished. I'll try new mount feature tomorrow. :)

[FoxP]

OK, fixed in v1.9.7.6. Thanks!

[FoxP]

I managed to crash Rclone Browser trying to edit a "Task" while the "Queue" was running (with some tasks inside). Hard to reproduce, but maybe there is a multithreading concurrent access somewhere.

[kapitainsky]

Thank you. I hope this one is already fixed as I identified some race condition recently and it fits into it - don't have beta release though as many other things are work in progress. In the next few days.

[kapitainsky]

Just in case I will add extra semaphore to lock task data when queue starts task - as maybe when in by pure luck in the same moment user tries to save the same task data it can clash.

[kapitainsky]

What is the way in Windows to tell OS don't go sleep? I think I solved this for macOS and would like to add option to RB - "prevent sleep when active transfers". Qt does not have any mechanism to do it so I have to fall back to native code.

[FoxP]

This is the way :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-setthreadexecutionstate?redirectedfrom=MSDN

[kapitainsky]

cool. thx. This looks like an answer - I want Rclone Browser to prevent sleep as long as rclone transfer it running. And I even think I wont make it optional - too many configurable options is mess - I don't see any logical reason why somebody would start transfer and then expect computer to go sleep half way. What you think?

[FoxP]

Same, that's why i disable all my computers to go to sleep when "idle".
If i want them to go into sleep mode, i do it manually for each software :

• Rclone Browser can do this with my launcher
• qBittorent has an option to activate
  
• etc...
