Dumb question :-)
In your Configure Filer section, what is the format I should use to include
all files EXCEPT Picasa.ini *.tmp or similar. I have tried lots of different
options, but with little success.
In an other FileSync program I previously used the above was accomplished by
using the string
*.* -*.ini -*.tmp
In that case file names were separated by a space (although your ";"
or New_Line is fine).

That string should read ...
*.* -Picasa.ini -*.tmp
*.* -Picasa.ini -*.tmp

>what is the format
The important is to enter everything relative to the base synchronization
directories: E.g. if "Picasa.ini" is located in a subdir called
"Sub", then you'd enter "Sub\Picasa.ini. If you want to exclude
"Picasa.ini" from all directories, enter "*\Picasa.ini".
So your overall filtering probably would look like this:
include: *
exclude: *\Picasa.ini; *.tmp
PS: Be carful with "*.*": directories ususally don't include dots,
so setting this as include will exclude most directores, probably not what you
wanted.
