Sometimes I need to copy som files from one CVS sandbox to another, thus I do not want to copy the CVS-directories in the source.
I recon I need to use the 'copy filter' - but I cannot make it select everything, except directories with the name CVS and the contents in this directories.
Note that my first answer was wrong; check my second attempt instead.
That's for excluding .svn directories but it'll work with .cvs as well if you make the appropriate change.[/quote]
I tried that - it works when using it as a filter when copying.
However, when I try it as a select-filter (right click the 'Select files and folder by wildcard pattern' in a lister in flat-mode), it keeps selecting every file.
It's kind of hard to see if a filter works when it keeps selecting everything while testing, but working ok when copying
If you want to test Copy or Delete filters, use the Find Panel. It should work the same, unlike using a filter with Select which works slightly differently.
