Quicker sync after dry run?

Feature
1

Hi all,

I often find myself doing rsync sync --dry-run just check what will be synced, before doing the sync by taking off --dry-run. Is there a way to perhaps cache the changes found by the dry run, so that when you sync it is much faster? Perhaps there could be a dialogue after a dry run which asks if you want to proceed with the above changes, using another flag e.g. --dry-run-then-sync or something?

Thanks

that would be an interesting feature.

in the mean time, could do that with something like this.
basically, create a list of files and feed it to rclone using --files-from

check out this post
do this to discover the files which need transferring to the dst and deleting from the dst

I see, that seems like a possibility, but hoping for something more user-friendly in future!
