FoldersSynchronizer

Filters:

FoldersSynchronizer allows you to filter the files to copy when backing-up or synchronizing.
You can filter the files to be copied/skipped by their FileName (is, is not, contains, doesn' contains, starts with, end with), by Type (e.g. "TEXT" files), by Creator (e.g."8BIM", thus all the Photoshop files), by Creation and Modification date, and Kind (is File, is Folder). Go to the "Filter" view choosing the "Filter" command from the "Option "menu, or clicking on the "F" icon on the console view.

• Filter On: mark the check-box "Filter on" in order to activate and edit the Filter List.

• Copy/Skip: mark the radio-button "Skip", if you want FS skips ONLY the files who match the filter list, and syncs/backs-up all the rest. Mark the radio-button "Copy ", if you want FS syncs/backs-up ONLY the files who match the filter list.

If you use the option Copy, please note that FS will copy only the items matching the filters and if those filters don't match the sub-folders, FS will never scan the subfolders. For example, if you define only the filter

copy only items whose filename ends with ".rtf",

FS will never scan the sub-folders, thus it will copy those rft files only from the main source folder. In order to let FS scan all the sub folders too, you have to define and add a new filter:

Kind = "is Folder"

.
This way FS will copy all the rtf files plus all the folders.
Last touch, if you don't want FS copy the folders that don't contain any rtf file, you have to mark the check-box "Skip empty folders" in the Settings panel.

• Define a filter: for each row of the list you can click on the cell and edit the filter by the "Set Filter" dialog shown below. To delete a filter, click on the cell holding down the ALT key.

• Apply
If you click on the button Apply holding down the ALT key, FS will apply the changes without coming back to the console. So you will be able to change (from the pop-up menu in the tool bar) and edit other Sessions in the same panel.
