Advanced features for automation and task management. If you are new to RsyncUI or rsync, learn the basics before using these.

URL commands

Deep links provide direct access to app features via URL. Using deep links, you can estimate and synchronize in a single click. Deep links in RsyncUI group actions that typically require multiple steps.

There are three methods of using deep links:

enable RsyncUI widgets
use URL functions direct within RsyncUI
save a URL link in e.g., Notes

One widget is embedded in RsyncUI:

estimating and synchronizing

The widget retrieves a saved URL from storage. In the Tasks view, there is a URL view where you can save the required URL. The widget shows whether a validated URL is present. To enable the widget on macOS, click the date and time icon in the upper right corner of your screen. Edit widgets and select RsyncUI, then add the widget.

Export and import

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Tasks can be exported and imported between profiles and to new Macs. Select the “File” menu and then “Export and import.”

Export

Exporting saves all tasks in the current profile to a JSON file. Choose a location to save the file — for example, your Documents folder or a shared drive accessible from another Mac.

Import

Importing reads a previously exported JSON file and adds those tasks to the selected profile. You can import into an existing profile or a new one. Duplicate tasks are not filtered automatically, so review the task list after importing.
