[REQ] Option to copy ignored files

[Sheepdog]

In response of the first two answers I edited my Post:

1. Put a filename on the ignore list
2. Put a file with this ignored filename into a folder
3. Enable the ignore list
4. copy the folder

the file on the ignore list will not be copied.

Expected behavior: When I copy a whole folder all files should be copied (packed), regardless they are on the ignore list or not.
An Option either on the ignore list config page and/or the copy/pack/move dialog would be fine for me.

I'd like an option to include ignored files in copy/move/pack process.

Sorry this is only what YOU expect - I expect it the way its treated now

PS: Please move this to TC V7 Suggestions as it is no bug....

FYI, from the help file:

Configuration - Ignore list

Ignore specific files/folders: They will be neither displayed nor copied.

Agree.

in source code folder there are some file type i want to ignore but definitely when copy/move/pack i need to copy/move/pack these files too.

Without that option, the ignore list can lead to unexpected data loss so I support the request.

I would rather ask for including ignored files to be default, and then having an option to exclude ignored files in stead.

This would also be consistant with the behaviour when it is chosen not to show hidden/system files - they are still copied anyway (in subdirs).

I guess you confound ignore and hide. I you ask to TC to ignore a file, why it should be copied/moved/packed ? (I asked to TC to ignore Thumbs.db and don't want them at all)

Maybe you should ask to add a hide list in addition instead ?

current behavior is dangerous!

Simply because ignore setting can be regarded as a cosmetical feature for display purposes only. Well, I do at least.

I would expect TC to offer checkboxes in all relevant dialogs, copy, upload, etc...:
[ ] also copy hidden directories / files
[ ] also copy ignored directories / files

This would also solve the security problem when uploading to FTP. Some people expect hidden files to be uploaded, some people don't. Some people prefer ignored files to be uploaded, some people don't.

So, the only choice is to make it optional. There is no "this is right, this is wrong" here.

Actually the idea of the ignore list was born from the wish to hide files and folders you would not like to see.
And it was initially called 'blacklist'. So petermad did not confound the terms but applys to the history.

I just don't want to see the "Recycled" or the "System Volume Information" or Pagefile.sys or boot.ini and some other files in my everyday work.

But I surely want to have all those files included in my file operations.

And I agree with petermad, that this a default include would fit the current handling of hidden and system files.

Once again a nice idea.

Hm, isn't a Custom view (Ctrl-F12) more suitable for that?
