1️⃣ Terminal Window Flash on Windows

🔗 Track on GitHub Project
(“Investigate workaround for terminal flash on Windows”)

On Windows, you may see a brief terminal window flash either:

  • When starting Rclone Manager, or
  • When running certain Rclone operations like mounting remotes or OAuth authentication.

This is not a bug in Rclone Manager, but a side effect of how the official Rclone binary is compiled:

⚙️ Rclone is compiled as a console application using Go, and on Windows, such binaries always open a terminal window when executed — even if launched from a GUI app.

✅ What This Means

  • This behavior is harmless and does not affect functionality.
  • It is simply a side effect of how Rclone is compiled, not something we directly control.

🔮 Future Plans & Workarounds

We are actively looking into solutions to suppress the terminal window:

  • ✨ Build a GUI version of Rclone A custom Rclone binary can be compiled with Go using: go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" -o rclone.exe This prevents the terminal window from opening.

  • 🤝 Contribute upstream We’re considering proposing a pull request to the Rclone project to provide an optional “GUI mode” build target for better GUI integration.

Any approach will ensure full CLI compatibility is preserved.
