Exclude a subfolder

[av8orct]

I am using the script below (which I found parts of elsewhere on this forum) to exclude the folder "ExcludeFolder".

It's not working! ANy help would be appreciated:

load <default>
filter "-.C:\Users\Blah\Documents\Curriculum\Courses\Exclud eFolder\"
load C:\Users\Blah\Documents "C:\Users\Blah\Google Drive\MyDocs"
expand all
select left.newer.files left.orphan.files
copy left->right

Hello,

The filter is likely not set to the right relative level. If your base folder is "c:\users\blah\documents" then the filter should start with:
"-.\Curriculum\Courses\Exclud eFolder\"

You can test this in the graphical interface first. Load your folders in the Folder Compare, then right click and Exclude your folder. The Filter box in the upper right corner will change from "*.*" to another filter, which you can copy/paste into your script.

If you want to copy left newer and orphan files, you could consider using the sync update:left->right.

Awesome! this worked as I wanted!

The suggestion to use the GUI was so helpufl!
I've been playing with the script in notepad and this will make it so much easier!

is there some way to "export" to a script if you work in the GUI?

Sorry, it isn't possible to generate a script from the GUI.
