RcloneBrowser 1.6 with Rclone 1.50, on Windows: no remote listed or accessible about rclonebrowser HOT 8 CLOSED

from rclonebrowser.

let me know if you still have an issue. we can troubleshoot it

Thanks. I did as you suggested - even though the paths were correct already. All that changed was: the slashes in the paths became Linux-style rather than Windows-style; the remotes pane remains and empty and the buttons in that pane still do nothing.

does Rclone Browser shows rclone version in main window footer?

can you run rclone from command line? try path_to_your_binary\rclone.exe --version

Seems like for whatever reason your rclone binary does not run so browser can't use it

from rclonebrowser.

Do you try to run this from some sort of virtual machine? If so move your binary and config out of shared folders. Windows have issues using shared folders for many operations. In Rclone Browser case it might be QT issue. I have noticed that QT programs don't behave when using virtual machine shared folders.

Thanks.

I am running Rclone Browser on real (not virtualised) Windows.

Rclone version number: I told you the version that I thought I had installed; the window itself shows no number:

But - aha! For some reason the rclone binary was set to run as administrator. When I made it run as a normal user, Rclone Browser started working. Ideally, you would build some sort of check for this problem into your program.

Great that it works! Yes it would be nice to have all sort of checks but time constraints on my side do not allow to dig into it deeper at the moment. It will have some rough edges for time being.
But thank you for reporting it - definitely I will come back to things like that in the future.

Adding runtime checks for all possible Windows breakages is hardly possible, but you can add a Troubleshooting (Installation caveats) section in the README.md saying "if you can't see rclone version in the status bar, make sure rclone path in preferences is valid, does not point to a shared folder and rlone.exe is not owned by LocalSystem etc etc". Less effort, easier on user reports, same result.
