Current situation
The
Snapshot Log View
andLast Log View
do contain the cryptic 11-char output ofrsync
to indicate the reason for anrsync
action, eg.:The meaning of
f>..t......
is unclear to normal users.The meaning of the possible values at each char position is explained in
man rsync
in the--itemize-changes
sectionand in a more compact form in this SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36851784
Proposed feature
Add
either a "Rsync change tracking help" button to briefly explain the possible values
or provide some kind of "hoover over" functionality that shows kinda "intellisense" help for the 11 chars of the current line the mouse cursor is positioned.
Alternatively a right-click context menu could work instead...
or add both above proposals
