Still under active development?

[mstgrv]

Loving RcloneBrowser but I've noticed the latest commit is over a year ago at this point. Is this still under active development? Lots of potential for this app, would hate to see it stagnate.

Looks like the author made the first commit in January 2017, spent six months working on it, then abandoned in July (also 2017). I'd guess for active development to continue, you'd need to find people who can take on the maintenance and keep parity with the RClone tool itself.

Its not under active development, because I simply started to use "rclone mount" to "browse" the rclone remote. Before it was not supported on Windows, that's why I wrote the GUI.

If somebody wants to collaborate on further development, I'm all open for it.

@mmozeiko, please, see the 3–5 most wanted features to the end,
then you could mark the project as abandonware and mute the tracker.

@mmozeiko - would be good if you could at least update the app to be compatible with the stats changes made in 1.43

I am allowed to run portable programs but not to install anything.
To use rclone mount it is needed to install winfsd
So... I have no alternative to RCloneBrowser....
I would appreciate very musch should you please compile an up to date version of rclonebrowser including compatibility with latest Rclone and included contributed PR -or otherwise mark the project as abandonware and giving official permission to fork and continue development....
Thanks in advance.

I just discovered rclone mount myself (on Linux). It's pretty good, but I continue to like your UI as well.

DinCahill fork was updated more recently

Thanks - but unless one is on Arch, one has to compile the program oneself. Still, I might (have to) do that.

EDIT: It was easy to compile; but it didn't actually install until I ran sudo make install. And that project lacks an issue tracker, so I could not suggest that the developer document that last point (well, I can't unless I make a pull request). Also: that newer version of rclone-browser does seem to work.

Try to contact DinCahill throught https://github.com/DinCahill/JTurMachine/issues - it is a "lateral" way to reach him/her

RcloneBrowser solves a lot of issues in relation to use of rclone in windows, where mount has some, ejem, issues. such as you can read here - https://forum.rclone.org/t/mount-windows-10-solving-speed-issues-with-big-multimedia-files-v2/10287

It is a pitty that @mmozeiko is not mantaining it, as mount solves his issues.
As you where able to compile it, perhaps you could take the load of maintaining it?

I would if I would be able, but I am just a kind of advanced user only....

All of the following is @caspertone2003.

Thank you for your comments.

1. Sorry, is it me that you are asking to maintain some version of rclonebrowser? If it is, then the answer is 'no', because I too am more or less a mere user.

2. Problems with rclone mount: I use rlone only on Linux so I do not have the problem. (That said, I did try to use rclone on Windows; but quickly I gave up.)

3. Sending a comment to DinCahill: I would, but if he or she has disabled 'issues' on their version of rclonebrowser then it seems impertinent so to do.

As this repo is dead for so long I did some DIY combining various enhancements and fixes together and released binaries for macOS, Win64 and Linux64. If anybody is interested give it a try - https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser/releases

[caspertone2003]

@kapitainsky
Such good news!
Bravo for taking care of this!
Will let know this new instance in all insterested parties/fora I had been - specially in rclone one.
Will move to your repo where I will also propose some enhancements/features just in case you could bolt them in!

Your version seems good; I'm using it. Thank you. EDIT: and I appreciate the binaries.
