RsyncGUI v1.7.3 — SMB/USB Fix

Bug Fix Release

Three bugs reported by JimmysDev in issue #2 — all fixed.

What was broken

• Destination picker on SMB/USB drives: Clicking "Open" navigated into the folder instead of selecting it. The button now says "Select" with a hint message.
• "Some checks failed" on valid external paths: fileExists returns false on mounted SMB/USB volumes. Source check now uses isReadableFile for /Volumes/ paths; destination check no longer fails when rsync will create the path.
• "Open Logs Folder" button did nothing: The logs directory was never created. Now auto-created on first click.

RsyncGUI v1.7.0 — Security Audit & AI Backend Overhaul

What's New in v1.7.0

Security Hardening & Code Quality Audit

30 findings resolved across CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, and INFO severities.

Critical Fixes:

High Fixes:

• Plist Injection Prevention: Schedule/job plist values validated against injection attacks
• Input Length Limits: Path and hostname inputs capped to prevent buffer abuse
• Race Condition Fix: Thread-safe job execution state management
• AI Backend Architecture: Complete overhaul — 6 new backend types, proper Swift extension patterns

Medium Fixes:

• Hostname validation with RFC-compliant regex
• Typed error enums replacing string-based errors
• Safe array access with bounds checking
• Proper pipe cleanup in rsync process management

Low/Info Fixes:

• Force unwrap elimination across 3 files
• Magic number extraction to named constants
• Locate button implementation (Finder reveal)
• MARK section comments for code organization
