FreeFileSync is very handful, except there is no automation for rules editing. This is troublesome when I use to sync my workspace, which contain a lot of compile products. As patterns are already presented in .gitignore file, is it possible to integrate it into FFS?

Hi. Just found this thread through the search, I too would like to be able to either parse .gitignore or have something like .ffsignore to make exclusions easier to manage.
I'm afraid I don't understand what Macros have to do with this. They're just variables you can use in paths, according to that page. The bottom part refers to batch files setting those variables for ffs_batch jobs, which opens the door to parsing and passing on gitignore entries through a script I suppose, but that's far from desired.
I think the OP and I were hoping to either see .ffsignore files automatically parsed by ffs similarly to .gitignore in git, or to be able to use `include:*/.gitignore` (or .ffsignore if the syntax is not compatible) as a filter line.
