`lsf ` adding tabs in output

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When I run lsf with --format hipst --hash MD5 on a Google Drive I am getting unexpected \t (tabs) in the output after the id field, as well as extra 'column'.

E.g. (xxx inserted for obfuscation, and spaces around the \t for clarity):

Most of the other millions of files look like this without the tab and extra id (?):

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.66.0
- os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.5.0-1023-oracle (aarch64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)
- go/version: go1.22.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

d="SHELLY/COCINA/FINAL HQ EXPORTS"; rclone lsf gd0:"$d" --files-only --fast-list --checkers 200 --format hipst --hash MD5 -R | tee test.txt

A log from the command with the -vv flag

hello,
i was not able to reproduce on windows and linux.

rclone lsf gdrive01:test --files-only --fast-list --checkers 200 --format hipst --hash MD5 -R -vv | tee test.txt

and is screenshot of test.txt from nano with display of whitespace enabled

I dug deeper and it seems that at least for some of these, there are actually 2 ids being reported, separated by a tab, where the first one is the actual file, and the second is Mime: application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut

So rclone is reporting both original and shortcut ... maybe this should be documented.

I would like a way to NOT report the shortcut.

Aha! So I need to use --drive-skip-shortcuts (see Google drive)

Solved

Try with a folder that contains shortcuts.

sorry, confused, as you already marked this topic as solved??

Yes, just explaining how to reproduce.
