Upgrade problem 5.8 to 6.11 /Exclude section is empty

[wiggie4]

Hi Zenju,

Please can you help me with upgrading FFS 5.8 to 6.11

After opening my configurationfile I got the next message (in dutch).
The exclude section in <GlobalFilter> is empty so my filter is lost.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Message FFS:
Configuratiebestand FreeFilesync\D-Elements(gefilterd).ffs_gui" alleen gedeeltelijk ingelezen.

Kan de volgende XML onderdelen niet lezen:

<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <Comparison> <Variant>
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <Comparison> <Symlinks>
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <SyncConfig> <DetectMovedFiles>
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <SyncConfig> <VersioningFolder> @Style
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <GlobalFilter> <TimeSpan> @Type
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <GlobalFilter> <SizeMin> @Unit
<FreeFileSync> <MainConfig> <GlobalFilter> <SizeMax> @Unit
<FreeFileSync> <GuiConfig> <MiddleGridView>

Thx

You can open the old .ffs_gui file manually as a text file and copy your exclude filter into the configuration dialog, then save the file.

Oke, i did that already but forgot the right syntax:

<Exclude>value1;value2</Exclude>
In stead of
<Exclude>
<Item> value1 </Item>
<Item> value2 </Item>
</Exclude>

The default Exclude list (Windows version 6.10) reads:

<Exclude>
<Item>\System Volume Information\</Item>
<Item>\$Recycle.Bin\</Item>
<Item>\RECYCLER\</Item>
<Item>\RECYCLED\</Item>
<Item>*\desktop.ini</Item>
<Item>*\thumbs.db</Item>
</Exclude>
