I'd love to use syncthing-bar but unfortunately it auto-updates itself on startup. I have Syncthing installed on multiple computers so this causes my setup to be running multiple versions of Syncthing.

A preference that allowed me to turn off auto-updating would solve this problem.

I have a multi-user macOS installation with syncthing-bar installed via homebrew. syncthing-bar also starts for other users which are not using the service and are confused why it is starts. The service is not visible in the Login Items of the users so they cannot remove it manually.

I would suggest to only start the daemon for the user who installed it, and via the Login Items of the user.

Feature request: support 10.7.5 Lion

Sorry. Can't run newer versions of OS X on MacMini 1,1 hardware.

It will Install a System Launch Agent causing syncthing to run as root and thereby making root the owner of newly downloaded files.

Well I could have checked the code and see what it does first, I guess.

A menu-bar icon is nice and I am very happily using it already.

It would generally be great, if the menu-bar icon would gain more functionality - generally when thinking about syncthing, indicating the sync-status would obviously be what you want from a menu-bar icon.

Of course this depends on knowing if syncthing is currently syncing or scanning and I am not sure if you can get that information?

Displaying if syncthing is busy would be great, however - it's probably not necessary to know what exactly it is doing (uploading/downloading/scanning/updating), but it would be cool, if the icon would start rotating (for example) whenever some activity was detected or become greyed out when there is no connectivity, etc.

Il would be great to add the possibility to Pause/Stop Syncthing while the computer is on Battery and/or connected through Wifi (like the android App).

Syncthing drains battery a lot and I close it when my MacBook is on Battery. It would be great if it could be automated.

I have lots of icons in my top menu and need some reminder which was for what. Dropbox has this shiny little title bar as shown in the next screenshot. Idea?

Following the instructions on the README, click on the "play" button on OS X 10.9.5 I get the following error"

/Users/priyadarshan/src/syncthing-bar/syncthing-bar/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard: The document "Main.storyboard" could not be opened. OS X 10.10 or higher is required.

Hi, in the latest update (0.0.8) the 'Open UI' and 'Stop Syncthing' menu items are grayed out for me. Is there anything in particular that needs to be done to get those menu items working? Thanks!

Connecting to http://localhost:8084 brings up the Syncthing web interface, so the application is running in the background as it should.

Hi, how about releasing a new version containing version v0.12.20 of syncthing?

I could help out, if the job is "only" following the readme...

The app always exits with a fatal error, see error log below. Maybe cause by the fact that I had a separate synching installation before, which was the latest version? not sure. I've removed the standalone version of syncthing (didn't realize at first that it was bundled), but still the same. Rebooted, and did a clean reinstall of syncthing-bar, neither of which helped solve it.

I haven't looked at how syncthing-bar works exactly, but it looks like it is starting / running syncthing from an internal folder. I would like to improve this and instead make the location configurable or - even better - not start syncthing at all and make syncthing-bar independent.

When starting syncthing-bar it should first check if an instance of syncthing is already running - most likely at 127.0.0.1:8080. This way I could for example use this handy .app wrapper to run syncthing, but also use your menubar.

Let me know if you think this doesn't really make sense to you.

Hello,

I'm migrating from btync to syncthing to synching my photos collection and lightroom catalog between my computer!

This works very well so far.

I'd like to have an easy way to pause syncing before opening lightroom and un pause it after lightroom closed

A UI menu in the action would be a perfect place !

I am not sure if this is a real problem with the current syncthing config, but the web GUI settings internally still shows port 8080 inside the GUI listen address instead of port 8084. Probably won't cause any problems, but I noticed it showing up, when looking through the REST api output.

after a few hours, or when i close the lid of my mac, the syncthing-bar closes automatically. (I never saw it going down, but when I open my mac again, its gone)

It could be useful to have a settings dialogue for syncthing-bar that allows a bit more personalization of the application (especially the menu-bar icon could be made configurable). I committed a pull-request #15 for your review and pleasure. It's nothing special, but if there are any configuration defaults you would like to add in a more configurable way - you could probably use this to start from. (I already included the port number for example, but it needs a little more work to have any influence on starting the actual syncthing.

What do you think? I haven't looked yet, but I was thinking of giving it a go in swift. I haven't used swift at all though :)

Minor detail, but possibly worth fixing.

This is what f.lux (and all the default OS X tray icons) do.

Here is what syncthing-bar does.

Syncthing's icon does change when selected, but it gets darker not lighter. Also, the entire icon is changed, even the transparent part.

In dark menubar mode, it is appropriate to not change the icon when selected. Again, the default menu bar widgets behave the same way.

Thank you so much for syncthing-bar!

How does it manage syncthing updates? Does one have to redo the whole install procedure all the times?

doesn't require any config, and cuts the idle CPU usage to almost nothing.

This causes cross-platform cross-version compatibility issues. Terminal log:

My-MacBook:syncthing user$ ./syncthing -version

15:55:21 FATAL: Upgrade: couldn't find a release to download

It shows a 2016 version, while the current version is that of June 2019. I have the latest version of syncthing-bar installed with Homebrew.

I get a fatal error when i am trying to open a shared folder containing - or a white space (mine is named AGILO SC-SPRL) from the status bar.
