[Synchronize Dirs] Exclusion List

Probably not a suggestion for 7.5, but maybe for 8.0:
AFAICT, you can only (de)select files/directories on the top level for synchronization.
It would be nice if one could build an exclusion list for files/directories on different levels of the drive/directory tree.
(E.g.: skip the pagefile, the windows directory, the recycle bin, the temp directory, the browser caches, etc.)
This could probably be implemented via an exclusion list.

cm_IgnoreConfig : "Configuration -> Options.. -> Ignore list"
and a button:
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SwitchIgnoreList
WCMICONS.dll,81
2922
is what I'm using for this purpose.

Thanks a lot, I'll have to look into this.
I had noticed the ignore list in the options, but failed to make any sense of it for my purpose.

2HolgerK,
That just enables/disables the ignore list, right?

Not only. The "pressed" state of the button indicates that the ignore list is active.
About switching or combining multiple ignore list(parts) you should have a look at this thread:
Suggestion:IgnoreList by Group.
My primary use case for the ignore list is:
- to hide some hidden or system files/folders
Code: Select all
\config.sys
\boot.ini
\NTDETECT.COM
\bootfont.bin
\autoexec.bat
\ntldr
\bootmgr
\$Recycle.Bin\
\Recycler\
\System Volume Information\
\pagefile.sys
\hiberfil.sys
...
- to disable the navigation via some superfluous links/junctions in vista/win7
Code: Select all
\Documents and Settings\
\Dokumente und Einstellungen\
\Users\All Users\
\Users\Default User\
...
only needed for older programs to store their informations in the new places.
- to exclude temporary files and sub folders from source code backups/archives
