Analyzing only one layer from base folder.

Posts: 7 · Monberg75 6 Oct 2022, 15:04

I have a folder structure, where I only need to analyze and backup files from the first layers of subfolders.

like /basefolder/subfolder

I would like FFS to avoid going deeper into the folder structure, is that possible?

Exclude "*\*\" May work

Nope, that didn't really work..

That just made it skip everything.

Any other suggestions?

"Exclude" -> "Include" Zenju, 07 Oct 2022, 08:09

OK, and should I then have * in exclude?

It's still going deeper than 1 layer

Then just exclude *\*\*\
