Rclone Browser bwlimit time settings issue

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello,

I want to specify the bandwith by time by typing " --fast-list -v --bwlimit "02:00,off 12:00,256k" " in File>Preferences>Default Rclone Options section of Rclone Browser, but every time I try, I get the error: " Fatal error: invalid argument ""02:00,off" for "--bwlimit" flag: invalid time specification (hh:mm): ""02:00" ".

My Rclone version is v1.57 and my Rclone Browser is v1.8.0. Why do I get such an error? I would be very grateful if you could help me fix this problem.

Thanks, regards

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

rclone copy -v --fast-list I:\Path\Subpath\ gdriveehk:Path/Subpath1/Subpath2/ --bwlimit "02:00,off 12:00,256k"

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

hello and welcome to the forum,

did some testing on windows and linux,

seems that --bwlimit cannot be used as:
--- global default value
--- per job/task using extra options.

need to use GUI bandwidth per job/task

@VBB uses rclonebrowser, IT might know?
