Hello.
I'm having a difficulty with the exclude filter, and do not find my error.
My setup: Windows 11
Source folder (copy/pasted from UI/left pane):
C:\Echange
Destination folder (copy/pasted from UI/right pane):
T:\PC_Perso_famille\echange
Subfolder I want to exclude:
C:\Echange\loisirs\vacances\
==> This subfolder is empty in the source but contains files in the destination, and I want it to stay that way (i.e. not deleted from destination).
I read carefully
https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=exclude-files
In the synchronization settings, under “Exclude,” I wrote (copy/pasted, with final newline):
\loisirs\vacances\
When I run the comparison, FreeFileSync still plans to delete the contents of
T:\PC_Perso_famille\echange\loisirs\vacances\
What am I doing wrong? How should the exclusion rule be written so that this folder and its contents are completely ignored during the mirror sync? I tried to remove the final "\" from source, the leading "\" from filter, added "\*" at the end of the filter,... No way.
Thanks.
