2. setup plugins (+button):

Sorry I there is no such button at "Synchronize Dir" dialog.

The only place I found such button is at "Search" dialog, but for search text only ...

SailorMax,
Plugins in Sync dialog may only be used for custom compare by contents algorithms, e.g. for comparing text files with ignoring line break type (that's why this small button is near compare by contents option and is only visible when the option is enabled), you can't use them for excluding files from sync.

In order to exclude some files you should add these files to global ignore list or use filter mask in Sync dialog (between left and right path fields), e.g.:

Code: Select all

*.* | .git\ .gitignore

MVV,
But if I need exclude all dot-files/folders? Is it possible?

Did not supporting file filters via "Define selection", where we can fill fields like "Search for" and "Date between" and setup tc-plugin fields - is a confusing behavior.

sqa_wizard,
Setup checkbox "by content" in "Synchronize Dir" dialog.

Use this in the filter mask:

Code: Select all

*|.* .*\

it will exclude all files and folder that start with a dot.
