RsyncUI 3.1.0 — Changelog

Version 3.1.0 improves the Synchronize view and task creation, fixes profile sorting, and includes the rsync error-reporting fixes introduced in the 3.0.6 release candidate.

If no issues are discovered in the release candidate, it will be published as the stable 3.1.0 release using the same builds; no new builds will be produced.

Changes since v3.0.5 through commit 9d3903a4 (October 21, 2026).

🎨 Synchronize view improvements

Added a heading showing the current profile, task count, and selection count.
Added a details panel for a single selected task, showing its source and destination hosts and full, selectable folder paths. The panel adapts to the available width.
Corrected source and destination display for remote-pull tasks, including halted tasks that retain their remote-pull mode.
Simplified the task table with clearer Task and Last run headings, destination host and folder details, and tooltips for truncated paths.
Added clearer Halted and Never run indicators and adjusted status colors.
Added selection guidance explaining when actions apply to all enabled tasks and when to estimate selected tasks.
Kept Estimate & Sync visible but disabled when all tasks are halted.

➕ Task creation improvements

Replaced red field borders with Required markers and contextual guidance for missing folders, remote users, and remote servers.
Clarified source and destination labels for remote-pull tasks.
Disabled Add until required fields are complete and added a matching check before attempting to create a task.
Added guidance for completing remote connection fields or clearing them for a local task.

🐛 Error reporting and profile fixes

Fixed rsync output error checking so it follows the user’s configured preference instead of always being enabled.
Improved failure alerts to include the rsync exit code and a concise summary of standard error output.
Limited the output shown in failure alerts to ten lines, preserving the most recent line containing “error” when it would otherwise fall outside the displayed summary.
Fixed profile-name sorting on APFS filesystems using localized natural ordering. Newly created profiles are also inserted in sorted order.

🧪 Regression coverage

Added tests for large multiline error output, error messages across multiple output chunks, and short or empty output.
Added tests for failure-alert presentation and for enabling or disabling rsync output error checking.
