Exclude items

Files and directories are only considered for synchronization if they pass the filter. They have to match at least one entry in the include list and none of the entries in the exclude list:

1. Each list item must be a file or directory path relative to synchronization base directories.

2. Multiple items must be separated by ; or a new line.

3. Wild cards * and ? may be used: * means zero or more characters while ? represents exactly one character.

Example: Exclude items for mirror-sync from C:\Source to D:\Target

Single file C:\Source\file.txt:
    Exclude: \file.txt

Single folder C:\Source\subfolder:
    Exclude: \subfolder\

All files (and folders) named thumbs.db:
    Exclude: *\thumbs.db

All *.tmp files located in subfolder only:
    Exclude: \subfolder\*.tmp

Files and folders containing temp somewhere in their path:
    Exclude: *temp*

Multiple entries separated by semicolon:
    Exclude: *.tmp; *.doc; *.bak

Example: Exclude all files and folders located in subdirectories of base directories

Exclude: *\*

Example: Include only files and folders located in subdirectories of base directories

Include: *\*

Note

• For simple exclusions just right-click and exclude one or a list of items directly on main grid via context menu.

• A filter string is compared against both file and directory paths. If you want to consider directories only, you can give a hint by appending a path separator (\).
