Profile Properties — Folder Filters

!This profile property isn't available unless Expert Mode is activated.

Folder filters enable you to filter specific folders during a copy operation, i.e. exclude them from the copy operation. The filtering methods inclusive and exclusive enable you to determine how filter texts are to be applied during a copy operation. In the copy modes 1:1 copy, Update and User-defined the filters only affect the contents of the source folders.
Inclusive
Only folders matching an activated filter text are searched in the copy operation. Example: If you specify the filter text "Test" only folders named "Test" are searched during a copy operation.
Exclusive
All the folders matching a filter text are excluded from the copy operation. Example: If you specify the filter text "Test", all folders named "Test" and their subfolders are filtered, i.e. excluded from the copy operation.

Filter List

The filter list contains all of the filter texts set up for folders. Each filter text can be activated for a copy operation via its checkbox.

The following buttons are available for the filter list:
  • Add – Add one filter text per selected folder
  • Enter Text – Add one filter text per text entry
  • Edit – Edit filter text
  • Remove – Remove filter text
  • Filter Wizard – Start Filter Wizard
  • Variables – Show Windows environment variables
New folders can be added to the filter list by dragging and dropping them from Windows Explorer.

Filter Texts

Comparisons using a filter text are always done using the folder name. When a filter text contains a backslash (\) comparison is made with the entire path of the current folder. Filters are not case-sensitive, meaning no distinction is made between uppercasing and lowercasing when during comparisons.

The filter text may contain various wildcards and Windowsenvironment variables. Examples:
  • Temp*
  • Temp?
  • *Temp?
  • *Temp*
  • %TEMP%
  • *\Temp*\*
  • *\Windows\Temp*\*
  • C:\Windows\Temp*
  • C:\Windows\%TEMP%\*

Filter Wizard

The filter wizard causes all the source and/or destination folders to be shown, enabling you to mark them as filtered by right-clicking them. Clicking on the Apply button causes all folders to be marked as filtered and entered in the filter list.

Options

Display contents of filtered folders in report of copy preview
Activating this option causes the entire substructure of a filtered folder to be read and shown in the report of the copy preview.
Don't filter subfolders
This option doesn't have any effect unless you are using the inclusive filter method and filter the entire path. Then all subfolders are taken into consideration during a copy operation and aren't excluded.
Ignore wildcards in filter text (treat like normal text)
This causes the characters of wildcards in a filter text to be treated as normal text.
Make filtering case-sensitive
This makes filtering distinguish between uppercasing and lowercasing when comparing folder names.
Additionally apply filter to all destination folders not present at source
This option has no effect unless the copy rule Delete files and folders at destination which are not present at source is activated. This causes the filters to be additionally applied to all folders at the destination that are not present at the source and can thus be excluded from the delete operation.
