Profile Properties — File Filters
File filters enable you to filter specific files 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 files matching an activated filter text are included in the copy operation. Example: If you specify the filter text "*.ini" only files with the ".ini" extension are processed during a copy operation. All other files are filtered (= excluded) from the copy operation.Exclusive
All the files matching a filter text are excluded from the copy operation. Example: If you specify the filter text "*.ini", all files with the ".ini" extension are filtered, i.e. excluded from the copy operation.Note: The filtering methods inclusive and exclusive don't have any effect on a copy operation unless at least one filter text has been activated in the filter list.
