Set Default Exclude Filter Values

[benjaminb]

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to set default exclude filter values in the synchronization settings. I find myself constantly adding *\desktop.ini when i make a new sync and it would be nice if this was added for me each time a new sync is made. Thanks!

That is in the default exclude filter

[benjaminb]

and I get to that...how?

[xCSxXenon]

Click the 'new' button in the top left

[xCSxXenon]

Every new sync configuration has that in the exclusion filter

sorry to sound dumb, but 100% that is not what is happening for me...i click new, go to filter, and this is all it contains:

\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\RECYCLE?\
*\thumbs.db

Well that's weird! You don't sound dumb, you see what you see. What version are you on? Windows, right?
When I click 'new', I get:
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\RECYCLE?\
*\desktop.ini
*\thumbs.db

I would uninstall, make sure the FFS folders are gone from "C:\Program Files\", "C:\ProgramData\", and "%APPDATA%"
Then resintall

DefaultExclusionFilter
This design needs some improvement: either expose via GUI or get rid.

THIS is the answer I was looking for! Thank you again!

[xCSxXenon]

Weird that it somehow got changed in the first place lol

Done: DefaultExclusionFilter can now be managed directly via the sync settings filter tab (F7):
