Next release - beta testing #93

kapitainsky · 2020-03-17T19:05:45Z

Here it is the latest beta version with improved mounting - mostly self explanatory when you try except advanced tab - I will describe it in a moment.

@thanamaha2002 , @FoxP - I would appreciate if you try and comment.

Anybody else is welcomed to test - windows binary is here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq335pidOrBV4IJIsro8BeILdqSxwA

For Linux or macOS please compile yourself from kptsky_testing branch. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to release betas cross platform - and for linux it is trivial to build yourself - see instructions here. Final release is expected in couple of weeks and of course will be for all OS.

@thanamaha2002 - it also includes fix for #90

PS. This is BETA version - so not everything might work as expected.

Advanced remote mount tab:

You can specify script to run after successful mount - original rclone mount is run with rc interface and called script receives required info how to "talk" to mount instance of rclone.
Mount job contains now script output window if run with some script - so you can check its output.

At the moment scripts receives:

1 - rclone executable location
2 - RC port
3 - RC username
4 - RC password
5 - mount point

as a proof of concept you can run following script (modify for windows):

#!/bin/bash

# show received parameters
echo $1
echo $2
echo $3
echo $4
echo $5

# wait a moment just to be sure
# that mounting rclone is ready
# in more advanced version we will include some check
sleep 5

# talk to rclone mount
"$1" rc "core/quit" --rc-addr localhost:$2 --rc-user $3 --rc-pass $4

the last line is equivalent of running:

rclone rc "core/quit" --rc-addr localhost:1234 --rc-user username --rc-pass pass

this will instruct "rclone mount" to quit/unmount - you should see your mount changing status to finished.

If it works you can move on to some cool things like cache warming - this is actually where I had all idea from - https://forum.rclone.org/t/how-to-get-full-directory-tree-cached-on-first-mount/12535/5

The following example is from mentioned rclone forum thread - it is for Windows and only works when mounted to drive letter (of course people familiar with scripting can easily modify it to other OS and situations)

create new mount with following parameters (specify them by hand in extra options tab):

--vfs-cache-mode writes
--vfs-cache-poll-interval 20m
--vfs-cache-max-age 8760h
--vfs-cache-max-size 1024G
--attr-timeout 8700h
--dir-cache-time 8760h
--poll-interval 30s
--multi-thread-streams 0

then run your mount with following script:

@echo off
echo %1
echo %2
echo %3
echo %4
echo %5

::Variables
set driveletter=%5

:: Check that the folder is valid, otherwise wait until it is
echo Waiting for %driveletter% to be ready ...

:LOOP1
vol %driveletter% >nul 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo " "| set /p dummyName=.
	timeout /t 1 > nul
	goto LOOP1
) else (
	echo.
    echo Drive %driveletter% OK!,
)

echo.
echo Warming up cache...
echo This may take a few minutes to complete
echo You can use the cloud-drive normally while this runs
echo.

echo Awaiting completion-message from RC...
%1 rc vfs/refresh -v recursive=true --rc-addr localhost:%2 --rc-user %3 --rc-pass %4 > nul

if not %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 (
	echo Something went wrong during precaching.
) else (
	echo Cache warmup for %driveletter% OK!
)

You can start using your mount immediately but in the background (you can check script output in jobs) rclone will be busy caching locally remote directory structure - depending on your remote after few moments browsing your mount will feel like local drive.

If you would like to understand more about cache warming concept have a look at this excellent primer from rclone forum by @thestigma:

https://forum.rclone.org/t/a-short-primer-on-pre-caching-or-pre-listing-technique/13171

In summary - it opens completely new possibilities. Cache warming is perfect example how useful it can be. I only intend to provide cache warming example scripts in the final release and leave rest for people creativity - my aim is to provide way to use it.

It works perfectly for the #90 fix. But one thing though, when use copy command, the command is not change the variable $file_name.

I am not sure I understand it?

thanamaha2002 · 2020-03-18T06:23:11Z

Run Stream and copy the command to clipboard.

This is what I got...

C:\test\rclone.exe cat Remote:test.mkv --config C:/test/rclone.conf | .\mpv.exe - --title="$file_name"

But it should be like this...

C:\test\rclone.exe cat Remote:test.mkv --config C:/test/rclone.conf | .\mpv.exe - --title="test.mkv"

kapitainsky · 2020-03-18T06:25:29Z

OK. Clear, will fix

kapitainsky · 2020-03-18T07:12:11Z

Updated beta version to 1.9.7.1 - download link in original post has been updated.

kapitainsky · 2020-03-18T07:31:39Z

hahah - yes it will be - it is on the to do list for some time now. Would be great if you try to use mount functionality - maybe you notice something not working there.

All day at home due to virus outside so making progress with RB - Updated beta version to 1.9.7.2 - download link in the original post has been updated.

What changed can be seen in kptsky_testing branch - nothing major - small improvements.

kapitainsky · 2020-03-19T16:39:11Z

1.9.7.5 - covering some edge cases in mounting. link in original post has been updated

kapitainsky · 2020-03-20T04:14:33Z

1.9.7.6 - fixes issue when path to scripts contains spaces + queue script execution problem in specific situations

caspertone2003 · 2020-03-22T01:22:22Z

Sweet!

Thanks a lot.
Only routine mounting and task editing tests; use of mount to drive - not to mount point.
Used rclone-browser-1.9.7.6-ed5e6cc-windows-64-bit with rclone-v1.51.0-124-ge569977c-beta-windows-amd64

A minor point: running rclone-browser-1.9.7.6-ed5e6cc-windows-64-bit did not ask me to select an installation directory, it just overwrote my previous working version ... uhm, easy peasy for typical users, but I dunno rclonebrowser/rclone users are typical users... better to ask if write to previous working folder or to provide a new folder?

On the other hand, I feel the new icons in tabs etc are a bit harsh than before... but of course this is a question of taste.

Finally, I feel that perhaps it is time to change in the top of the git
kapitainsky / RcloneBrowser
forked from DinCahill/RcloneBrowser
I think already did much more RcB than DinCahill, so, would drop from the title that of forked from... (while I imagine that in the readme or alike there will be probably attribution to Mozeiko, DinCahill and so on... but not any more in page top!

Keep well Dariusz (from London?)

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T06:16:22Z

yeap. North of the river:)

Thank you for nice words and testing. Every pair of eyes helps to spot some issues.

Icons - a word why I decided to change them. Previous versions used standard ones provided by Qt. The issue was that this set is limited (no chance to find meaningful icon for check or dedupe etc.) and it differs from platform to platform. So trying to substitute missing icons and ensure that some of them don't look out of place would require splitting icons set per platform... then to make matter worse "every" Linux distro provides its own icons... Nightmare. To solve this puzzle I decided for radical move and use all custom icons. As I am "colour blind" at least this is what my friends say I went for black and white scheme. And I am not pro designer nor I have will and money to hire one:) I tried my best finding royalty free icons on internet and creating few from the scratch in gimp:)

Try dark mode - should be less harsh. Also try mode "icons only" - they are very self explanatory anyway - for some reason they then blend much better into buttons shape.

I don't mind providing alternative set (it could be easily configurable like black or white icons at the moment) if somebody gets me them. 512x512 png forrmat. There is about 80 icons to provide. Also for existing scheme if you have some better idea for any icon send me png file. We can change anything/

thanamaha2002 · 2020-03-22T08:12:26Z

About the icon though, can Qt use SVG or any kind of vector format? I using a 4K monitor with a HiDPI scale up to 150% and the icons already pixelated. I know it a low percentage of the users but in the future, more and more modern hardware coming out will be a common issue.

thanamaha2002 · 2020-03-22T08:40:56Z

I just realize it not about the icon size but RB don't support HiDPI awareness. 😮

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T08:44:51Z

Yes it looks ugly. sure it can. if you provide all required svg files

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T08:57:38Z

Also it has something to do with Windows scaling/Qt framework. On macOS icons look ok even on 4k monitor. All icons are provided as 512x512 png so there is enough leeway for OS/Qt to make good use of it. Hopefully when 4k and more monitors become more prevalent it will be addressed.
As it stands now at least for Qt it is clearly most polished on macOS - with Windows and Linux falling behind. Why it is I have no idea. Probably people using macs care more about details:)

Yes, I was gonna comment about it. The icon size of 512x512 px is already enough but it about the HiDPI awareness. It looks like the software need to support HiDPI awareness in the Windows side, M$ won't do anything about the legacy software anymore.

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T09:04:38Z

This is sample of source png file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser/samples/open_remote.png

It should easily produce clear and sharp button image (given that they are tiny)

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T09:07:39Z

maybe some Qt guru will advice how to handle it better. I have no solution atm - unless somebody creates svg icons - but even then not sure it will work on Windows. Would be good to test.

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T09:13:12Z

also try to set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to 1

kapitainsky · 2020-03-22T09:17:54Z

and try dark mode (which uses Fusion) as per Qt website:

"While the macOS style fully supports high-DPI, the Windows desktop style currently has some limitations with certain scale factors. In these cases, consider using the Fusion style instead, which supports high-DPI in all cases."

rapejim · 2020-06-14T19:21:28Z

Just got a notification that rclone 1.52.1 is out. Is the beta you posted in the first post compatible with that software, or should I wait for Rclone Browser 2.0.0 before updating?

I am trying it (rclone browser beta of this post) with 1.52.1 rclone version.

rapejim · 2020-06-14T19:30:30Z

@kapitainsky I think that the choice of the color of the icons (Black/White) should be automatic with the selection of the "dark mode".

Because if you use white icons with "dark mode" turned off it looks really bad.

Or vice versa:

Trying it out myself now and so far so good. Only thing worth mentioning is the dark-light icons, which you've already mentioned one post over this one. Other than that it seems to be working fine. :)

ghost · 2020-07-19T20:44:08Z

Hi, I am using latest beta, new icons for remotes are too big, it bothers me when i am using list mode. Can you add smaller options please. Thank you all for your efforts.

1024mb · 2020-09-02T06:26:37Z

I don't know if this issue is new to this version or if it is related to rclone browser or to rclone itself but in the job information it is shown a speed of ~4.937 MBytes/s but in reality it is using 10-12MB/s (at least according to NetLimiter). It may help to know that I'm using timetable limiter with varying limits per hour of the day, when the job started it had a 4M limit but now the limit must be set to off.

Edit: Also clicking on "Copy rclone command to clipboard" copies the command without quotes where it should have them.

This is what is copied to clipboard and also what is shown when hovering on "Show output":

C:\Path to program with spaces\rclone.exe sync F:\ crypt:HDD F: --delete-after --verbose --no-update-modtime --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --backup-dir crypt:Removed (F:) --bwlimit Mon-08:00,4M 23:59,off Tue-08:00,4M 23:59,off--stats 1s --stats-file-name-length 0 --fast-list --config C:/Path to program with spaces/rclone.conf

And rclone is called by this program like this:

"C:\Path to program with spaces\rclone.exe"  sync F:\ "crypt:HDD F:" --delete-after --verbose --no-update-modtime --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --backup-dir "crypt:Removed (F:)" --bwlimit "Mon-08:00,4M 23:59,off Tue-08:00,4M 23:59,off" --stats 1s --stats-file-name-length 0 --fast-list --config "C:/Path to program with spaces/rclone.conf"

I also included osxfuse that I had lying around in the same folder; it's a dependency. Might be outdated.

I'll mirror the Windows beta version soon, too, once I connect my other HDD.

The weirdest thing is if I run the exactly same command rclone mounts without issues the remote.
