How exclude some folder?

Post by whitehander »

Hi,

I synced my project folders.
but qsync is syncing 'node_modules' and other unwanted folders.

my qsync app has many syncing errors...
missing files, dot files are changed no-dot files

I think 'node_modules' folders have many files so qsync app cause many errors

So, I added file filter below, but still synced 'node_modules' folder.

node_modules
node_modules/
/node_modules
*/node_modules/*
*/node_modules/**
**/node_modules/*
**/node_modules/**

There is no way for excluding with folder names?

ps. I working Mojave MacOS

Open up the Qsync app ( version 4.3.8 ).
  1. At the bottom middle of the screen there's a "View and manage paired folders"
  2. Look for the current qsync folders. To the very right of it, click on the pencil on paper icon to edit the configurations
  3. Under the headline "Selective Synchronization", there's a Select button to pick which folders to sync. Please note, not all folders show up until its sync to the server for the first time.
Hope that helps.

Is this still the only solution? I also don't want to sync my node_modules, and having to deselect sync for node_modules in every projects on every device is quite a lot of work.

The thing is Qsync can exclude folder that has dot at the beginning. So is there any trick to do on normal folder?

Here's the filters that excluded dot folder
*.~*
~*.*
#*.*
.*
