Copy filter - full path

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I'm trying to use copy filter to skip particular folder when copying (named "system"). When copy is triggered, the filter dialog appears, I set the filter and click OK. Unfortunately, all files and folders are copied. What's wrong with my filter? (Note that if the folder itself is copied but no files within it are copied, I'm fine with that.)

Using a subfolder clause will be more efficient, and can just say:

  • subfolder, no match
    • name match "system"

But if you want to use full path and wildcards, the problem is probably just that your slashes are the wrong way around. Use backslashes.

Yes, the problem was slash used instead of backslash. Also, thanks for pointing out "subfolder" method.
