URL commands

Deep links facilitate direct access to application features via URL links. By utilizing deep links, users can execute an estimate and synchronize actions in a single click. Deep links in RsyncUI enable the grouping of actions that typically require multiple user inputs.

There are three methods of using deep links:

• enable RsyncUI widgets
• use URL functions direct within RsyncUI
• save an URL-link in e.g. Notepad

RsyncUI Widget

One widget is embedded in RsyncUI:

• estimating and synchronizing

The widget retrieve a saved URL link from storage. Within the Tasks view, there is a view for URL. Within this view, you can save the required URL. The widgets display whether a validated URL is present. To enable the widgets on macOS, click on the date and time icon located in the upper right corner of your screen. Edit the widgets and select RsyncUI. Then, add the widgets.

After enabling the widget, a single click on the widget will launch RsyncUI and execute the corresponding action. To modify the URL, update and save the new URL.

Execute URL´s from within RsyncUI

Deep links also enable automation of actions within RsyncUI. A single click on the toolbar icon executes the URL action. RsyncUI generates the necessary URL based on the loaded profile and the required action. The two yellow toolbar icons allow execution of URL commands from within RsyncUI, as demonstrated in section above.

URL´s and Notepad

URL´s must start with rsyncuiapp://:

• Estimate all tasks and automatically synchronize data
  • load profile, estimate all tasks and automatically synchronize data

View URL

You may copy the correct URLs and save the URLs in e.g Notepad for easy access to start a synchronize task.

Errors in URL link

If RsyncUI encounters an invalid URL link, it will generate errors. Only well-defined URLs (specifically those supported by RsyncUI) are processed and executed. All URLs are validated as valid, but only defined URLs for RsyncUI are actually executed.
