Release Notes:
This is a major release focused on providing more granular control, streamlining the user experience, and fixing some long-standing issues. The highlight is the new Global Backend Settings modal, which allows for powerful default configurations for all your remotes.
We've also dedicated significant effort to polishing the UI, making remote management more intuitive and less cluttered. And for our Windows users, we're happy to announce the annoying terminal flash is gone!
✨ New Features & Enhancements
-
Global Backend Settings: You can now configure backend options (like mount settings, VFS flags, etc.) in one central place. These settings apply to all remotes by default but can be overridden on a per-remote basis for maximum flexibility. You can also import and export these global settings.
-
Per-Remote Backend Flags: Added support for setting backend-specific flags directly within a remote's configuration. These flags will be applied to all operations for that specific remote.
-
Mount Filter Support: You can now apply rclone filter options directly to your mount configurations, giving you precise control over what files and folders appear in your mounted drives.
-
Automatic System Theme Detection: Set the theme to "System" in the settings, and RClone Manager will now automatically switch between light and dark modes to match your OS preferences.
-
Interactive Mode Toggle: The "Quick Add Remote" modal now includes a toggle for interactive mode. This is essential for remotes that require extra steps (like iCloud or OneDrive) and gives you more control over the setup process.
🔄 Improvements & Changes
-
Smarter Remote Configuration: The detailed remote editing screen is now context-aware! It intelligently filters and displays only the relevant fields for the selected provider (e.g., you will only see S3-specific fields for S3 remotes), dramatically reducing clutter.
-
Revamped "Quick Add Remote" UI: The design of the quick add modal has been overhauled for a cleaner and more intuitive user experience.
-
Integrated Password Management: The standalone Password Manager has been removed. Password management is now seamlessly integrated into the new Global Backend Settings modal for a more unified workflow.
-
Simplified Remote Editing: To improve usability and prevent configuration errors, the JSON editor for remotes has been removed. The form-based configuration is now the standard, streamlined way to manage remotes.
-
Dependency Updates: Updated several npm and cargo dependencies to their latest versions for improved security and performance.
🐛 Bug Fixes
-
Eliminated Terminal Flash on Windows: Fixed the long-standing issue where a terminal/console window would briefly flash on screen when starting the app or running rclone operations on Windows. (Closes #30)
-
Prevented Multiple Modals: Fixed a bug that allowed multiple modal windows (like settings, add remote, etc.) to be opened on top of each other, creating a confusing state.
-
Corrected Filter Rule Prefixes: Stripped the
RulesOpt.prefix from filter rule fields before sending them to rclone. This fixes a critical issue where rclone would ignore user-defined filter rules. (Closes #29) -
System Tray Menu: Fixed an issue where remotes were not being displayed correctly in the system tray menu.
-
Logo Display: Corrected an issue that prevented the RClone Manager logo from displaying properly within the app.
