Nick Craig-Wood 874d66658e fs: fix setting stringArray config values from environment variables
After the config re-organisation, the setting of stringArray config
values (eg `--exclude` set with `RCLONE_EXCLUDE`) was broken and gave
a message like this for `RCLONE_EXCLUDE=*.jpg`:

    Failed to load "filter" default values: failed to initialise "filter" options:
    couldn't parse config item "exclude" = "*.jpg" as []string: parsing "*.jpg" as []string failed:
    invalid character '/' looking for beginning of value

This was caused by the parser trying to parse the input string as a
JSON value.

When the config was re-organised it was thought that the internal
representation of stringArray values was not important as it was never
visible externally, however this turned out not to be true.

A defined representation was chosen - a comma separated string and
this was documented and tests were introduced in this patch.

This potentially introduces a very small backwards incompatibility. In
rclone v1.67.0

    RCLONE_EXCLUDE=a,b

Would be interpreted as

    --exclude "a,b"

Whereas this new code will interpret it as

    --exclude "a" --exclude "b"

The benefit of being able to set multiple values with an environment
variable was deemed to outweigh the very small backwards compatibility
risk.

If a value with a `,` is needed, then use CSV escaping, eg

    RCLONE_EXCLUDE="a,b"

(Note this needs to have the quotes in so at the unix shell that would be

    RCLONE_EXCLUDE='"a,b"'

Docs

This directory tree is used to build all the different docs for rclone.

See the content directory for the docs in markdown format.

Note that some of the docs are auto-generated - these should have a DO NOT EDIT marker near the top.

Use hugo to build the website.

Changing the layout

If you want to change the layout then the main files to edit are

  • layout/index.html for the front page
  • chrome/*.html for the HTML fragments
  • _default/single.md for the default template
  • page/single.md for the page template

Running make serve in a terminal give a live preview of the website so it is easy to tweak stuff.
