Hmm to elaborate on the topic of the command line window, what I've been experiencing does not seem to me like an issue with the option to keep it open or not after a command ended, but rather, it's pretty much like the normal behavior of batch files: they just don't go to the next line until the current command has completed, which in the case of most executable means, until their process has ended.

And so if you use cmd.exe to run a GUI mode program such as the RDP client, Notepad, Firefox… then that CMD window just stays there until you close that GUI program — or manually close the cmd window itself.
The solution to that issue would be, IMHO, to have CRAP run the command which the button is set for "directly", instead of calling cmd.

in case this puts anyone off the idea of Syncovery - the list can be easily filtered, including to just show changed files.

Correct. The problem was that all of my folders had different modification dates on both sides. For this reason, Syncovery would show every single one of my 15,000 folders even in the sync preview mode that is supposed to only "show affected" items. After changing one of the about 35,372 option settings of Syncovery (unfortunately, I don't remember which setting that was), I managed to solve this issue.

OK, it does seem better especially since the taskbar is dark too :)
Would be nice if the text fields could have a dark background (and probably some lighter shade of gray text for a good contrast) too :D

Yeah I have to see if there is a fix for those as they flicker pretty bad when I try to do color related things to those combo boxes on the main window.

There were, I think, some commands that took a lot of tinkering to make work properly -- and there are definitely some where the command window should be left open as well as some that don't.

I think I made most things work by either using start /b or not -- the remote desktop example I documented in the help is one where it was needed, but -- and I think it's down to Microsoft rather than anything else! -- expecting consistency is possibly a step too far!

I thought I'd left a note on here a few days ago to help with updating the help, if it's needed, for the new version, but I don't see the message so I expect I abandoned it accidentally :)

Anyhoo -- I'm still using CRAP only on a Windows 10 machine, but that doesn't mean I don't have Win11 available to test on if it's useful!

Yeah definitely seems like weird behavior from command line on the toggle to keep it open. Thanks for the offer on help file too will keep it in mind as get closer to letting it out.

Here’s my reasoning for the application launch mode. With the command line window the command is all arguments side. If I am going to skip it then I need a reliable way to tell what the executable is without dealing with the arguments side of things.

Now that I am on the desktop...I made a comparison for you. :)

Your Current Black Theme

The New "Dark" Theme

That said if you still would like the current black one too I will leave it added back as a legacy style. :)

Aww, that's the one I was using on my work computer lately :(
BTW is it possible for the user to make custom themes, or are we restricted to usng the ones that the program ships with?

The new “Dark” theme I did for another program when I was reviewing the themes looked extremely close to the old black. Only some of the colors didn’t look as rough around some parts so you might like that one.

It’s not in at this time for custom color/colors by the user but I have slowly been looking into how I think would be the best way to fit that in.

Then I removed some themes (like black for one)

In my early tests it works with my simple arguments I tested it with. Will work on polishing it up some. I know you didn’t request it but I have spent time on the themes to where they should look better and cover more of the application. It still won’t be 100% coverage area still but it is closer. Then I removed some themes (like black for one) but added a few like for example a light and a nicer dark theme. Next up is seeing about the shortcut files dropping to add the info in some capacity. That said if you want the changes so far to test in the next couple days or so I will upload a beta.
