Multiple folder filter in sync

#1 Post by Razi3L » 03.06.2019, 20:14

Hi,
I'm new to freecommander and loving it so far. However when I try to sync data with my USB hard drive I have a problem when I try to filter out multiple folders. When I put in filter *music, it filters out music folder but when I try to filter *music;*photos it doesnt filter anything. I also tried: \*music;\*photos ... music*;*photos ... music*;photos* ... \music*;\photos*
Some of these tries doesnt even make sense but I tried them anyway :-) .

I'm sorry in advance if I missed something or its known issue or not possible at all :-) .

Any help is appreciated.

On the "Filters" tab in the Synchronize dialog we have:
- File filter: with "Include files", "Exclude files"
- Folder filter: with "Include folders", "Exclude folders"

Could you write exactly what have you defined on the Filters tab?
Write please what is your goal, what do you want to achieve?

Well, I want to exclude two folders from a root of USB HDD.
I have already written how I tried to define it.

Edit: Never mind, I've just figured it out. It was enough to uncheck "Regular expression for both filters'' which was checked by default... I hope.

So correct way of filtering folders is: music*;photos* ... as help mentions

Thank you for your answer anyway.
