Exclude Filters on Mac OS

[mtoka]

I am on a mac and having difficulty getting the filters to work.
I want to stop syncing the below divided into files and folders

(Folders)
.wdmc
Large Videos

(Files)
Thumbs.db
._Thumbs.db
.Picasa.ini
.DS_Store

The below filters did not work. I still get them in the comparison.
/.DS_Store
/.wdmc/
/Thumbs.db
/.Thumbs.db
/.Picasa.ini


Another thing.
How can I stop synching any file name that starts with a dot '.'?
Thanks

Use this syntax instead:

*/.DS_Store
*/.wdmc/
*/Thumbs.db
*/.Thumbs.db
*/.Picasa.ini

How can I stop synching any file name that starts with a dot '.'?

*/.*

See also the help file chapter "Exclude items" for more examples.

Note that stop synching any file name that starts with a dot '.' via excluding
*/.*
will also exclude
*/.DS_Store
*/.wdmc/
*/.Thumbs.db
*/.Picasa.ini__
(or any other file or folder starting with a dot '.' ) without the need
to specify those four specifically.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
The help files include the windows syntax so I had difficulty translating that to mac.

Intention was to sync only .Picasa.ini files and .picasaoriginal folders which are created by picasa, then ignore everything else that starts with dot '.' since Mac OS and WD My Cloud are fans of creating such files. I understand I can't include the above 2 files names then exclude */.* as they won't pass the filter. Any other way to achieve this?

Another question. Should I sync sync.ffs_lock files? or simply ignore it in the comparison?

Thanks
