Filter doesn't work if file was mirrored previously

[NablaDelta]

Hi everyone,

I found a strange behavior and would appreciate if you could try to reproduce it or help me find my mistake.

I have a folder test with a file test.txt that I'd like to mirror to another folder test_backup. I choose "Mirror" and add an exclude-filter "test.txt". If I compare now, nothing is displayed, which shows the filter works. If I remove the filter, "test.txt" is displayed for mirroring and I execute, which copies "test.txt" from the test folder to test_backup. If I compare now, nothing is displayed, because the file has been mirrored. Everything is fine until here.

Now I add an exclude-filter "test.txt" again (just like before where I tested it and it worked!). I expect the file to be removed from test_backup, since I want to exclude it from mirroring. However, if I compare, nothing is displayed, and starting does not remove "test.txt" from the test_backup folder. Why? Is this a bug or a feature? How to achieve the file to be excluded if it was mirrored previously?

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'll find a workaround for now. Nevertheless another vote from my side for any option somewhere for deleting files that are not in the scope with the mirror method.
