Question: How can I define a filter so that when I sync between two folders (CTRL+Y), it will only sync between the non-hidden folders?
I have to routinely sync the My Documents folder on my laptop to an external HD (typical backing up my data scenario) and I use DOpus' Sync tool to do this. Ideally, I'd like to just sync the root My Documents folder without having to initiate the sync at the 10 sub-folders. However, there are some other (annoying) sub-folders that are automatically created in My Docs from a couple of programs that I use that I mark as hidden... for instance, Outlook now creates a folder called Outlook Data (or something like that) directly under My Docs and I don't want to copy it. I also don't want to see it so I hide it.
Normally, you could use a Subfolder clause that tells Opus to stop looking below any folder with the H attribute, but I don't think subfolder clauses work with Synchronize (because Synchronize only really cares about files; it's unusual compared to most things that use filters).
If the list of folders you want to exclude isn't going to change often, you could use Location clauses, to say that the files must not be in a location below those folders.
e.g.
Location
No Match
C:\Users\YourName\Documents(Outlook Data|Another Unwanted Folder)(|*)
[x] Use Wildcards
That should exclude anything in or below C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Outlook Data and C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Outlook Data\Another Unwanted Folder.
(Of course, have a good look at what it ends up syncing in the end, to make sure I didn't make a mistake!)
