Ignore files and folders from being synchronized

[TorstenF76]

Hello,

I'd like to suggest a feature for having the possibility to exclude files and/or folders from being synchronized within the "synchronize directories" view.

I am used CVS, where I can add all unwanted filenames in a file called .cvsignore so I'd like to suggest having a file named .tcignore where I can name all files I do not want to be synchronized.

Concrete need: I use the asymmetric synchronization to make backups of my working directory onto a USB hard disk. In my working directory there are folders like "tmp" or "downloads" that are frequently changed and really not worth being backuped.

It would be nice to have such a feature in future versions of total commander.

Kind regards,

Torsten

Just put in for example:

Code: Select all

|tmp\ downloads\

in the midle top field in the synchronize dialog to skip the directories tmp and downloads

Thanks a lot.
I already tried

Code: Select all

| tmp downloads 

but without the trailing backslash it didn't work obviously.

Together with the possibility to save that configuration it is a good workaround for me.

It is a bit more than a workaround, since previous values of that middle top field are always accessible from its drop-down list... It still requires two clicks (or some tab+arrow pressing) each time but that's all it takes.

You can use the SYNCOPEN command to open a saved synchronize directories configuration.

Code: Select all

SYNCOPEN mysync

It can be used for example on a button or in a user defined command.
