Documentation problem, on Windows: is it made clear one needs to be an administrator? #97

I couldn't get the browser to work on Windows (Windows 8.1). Then - having given up and returned to the problem some months later - it occured to me to run the rclone-browser as admin and . . voila.

Hi, Thanks for your comments. I much appreciated. ;) It is working for me but only for my 2 SSD drives (C and I) but nothing is working on my other hard drives (not ssd). All drives are formatted with NTFS (win 8.1 64bits). My SSD drives are connected using SATA II and some but not all my other hard drives are connected with SATA II and SATA I connectors. All Rclone browser says when I click on "get size" is : "ERROR : : error listing: directory not found" ;( By luck do you have an idea why ? Thanks in advance ;)

PS: Tests done with rclone-v1.39-windows-386 and rclone-browser-1.2-a1156a0-win64

There's no need to be administrator. Rclone GUI does not read any files directly anyways - it does all file i/o through rclone executable. So if there are some issues where you need to be administrator, that's rclone issue, not GUI.
