Filters are not working

Hello!

First of all, thanks for make this amazing app. Day to day makes my work be less costly.

Unfortinately, today I have a problem. This problem happens continuosly but today is very clear for me. I have a “dev” folder, in which I work. This folder has a very large number of files (small size) , but very large folder structure.

I give you a example:

My working folder root:

c:/dev

Then a workspace folder inside:

c:/dev/workspace

then a business name for I work:

c:/dev/workspace/bussines1/

then de name of proyect:

c:/dev/workspace/bussines1/proyect1

finally the folders “branch”, “tag” y “trunk” for versioning:

c:/dev/workspace/bussines1/proyect1/branch
c:/dev/workspace/bussines1/proyect1/trunk
c:/dev/workspace/bussines1/proyect1/tags

Inside of “branch” and “tags”, I have multiples versions. When I package each version, folders like “classes” and “target” are created . The problem is avoid to upload those folders.

These folders have a shortest life because it’s constantly being replaced.

I made these filters:

*/target
*/classes
target
classes
/target/
/classes/

But none worked. And I have a similar problem with a instances of Jboss (a webapp container) where folders like “logs”, “work” and “tmp” are being constantly edited and I do not need to upload these changes.

@marte @jimperio @lpugoy @dipesh please respond, thank you :slight_smile:

@Franco_Gimenez: I assume you are referring to the ignore list. The ignore list only applies to new files and folders. If the item was synced by Insync before then adding it to the ignore list will not have an effect. If you want to apply the ignore list to these items one workaround is to move these items out of the Insync folder, wait for the syncing to finish, then move them back in.

Also the ignore list is only compared to the name of the item, so path based expressions won’t work. In your case the entries */target, */classes, /target/, and /classes/ will not have the desired effect. The target and classes entries should be sufficient for your case. But be aware that this will ignore all items named target and classes in all directories, not just under your project.

Hope this helps.

First of all, thank you.

By the other hand, the solution of move folders to be processed is not a option for me. I use those folders to develop, and all my workspaces and scripts are working under these folders structures. If I need to do a move, until Insync completes two synchronizations, I lost a large amount of time.

I will wait until weekend and will leave Insinc do the job, I hope that works.

The part of the ignore “words” are helpful for me, I now know how works. Is just like I need.
