Hi everybody,
I have a strange problem : I just can't filter out temporary files like these:
User\H\.tmp.driveupload\52625"
User\H\.tmp.driveupload\52629"
User\H\.tmp.driveupload\52633"
However I believe I tried everything... Here is what I added at the end of my filter file:

*\.tmp.driveupload\*
*\.tmp.driveupload\
*.tmp.driveupload\*
*.tmp.driveupload*
*driveupload*
*\H\.tmp.driveupload\*
\User\H\.tmp.driveupload\*

but to no avail...

An idea would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

What if you right-click those in the comparison window and click "exclude"?
Then you can see how fFS automatically fills it out

Excellent idea! I tried it and the proposed filter was
* \. tmp.driveupload \
that was already on my list ...
But, thanks to your suggestion, I had the opportunity to compare the results between the automated execution and the manual execution ... And I realized that I had not transcribed in the batch file the modifications that I had made to the filters of the GUI :-(
Silly me!
Anyway, thank you very much for answering , because you guided me to the right answer!

Woohoo! As long as you got it to work, I don't care how you got there!
