Yeah. Though rsync is not the most option-rich program ever. What really needs GUI is... ffmpeg! :)

- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThere are lots and lots of ffmpeg GUIs, the problem is that IMO, all of them are either (1) not powerful enough or (2) more difficult to use than just the command line. The first problem may, of course, be a non-issue depending on what you need to do.
- gmfawcett 7y agoSomeone with a sufficient itch (and some Elisp skills) could probably do for ffmpeg what the Magit team did for Git. Git's another program with a litany of options, and Magit does an outstanding job of covering them with an easy-to-use interface. https://magit.vc/manual/magit/ https://magit.vc/manual/magit/ Admittedly the ffmpeg bar is probably higher, esp. given that ffmpeg can be configured and built a couple dozen different ways.
- marcosdumay 7y agoHandbreak is a really good GUI for ffmpeg. The problem is that i (with its ~20 different windows) supports only one use case of the tool.
- aidenn0 7y agoI'd love to just make a GUI for generating ffmpeg filter graphs. The MS SDK had a directshow filter graph editor (graphedit i think it was called?) that was quite pleasant to use back in the day.
- Fnoord 7y agoffmpeg needs a GUI? Nah, you just make aliases or script it as this comment already described for Rsync [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20393620 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20393620
