Exclude (filter) certain file types

Postby hossnine » Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:20 pm

Hello,

I'm trying to do comparisons on large directories across more systems systems than I care to and the file type variations in these directories is extensive. It would be much easier to exclude the handful of log file types. Is there a way to set file types to exclude rather than the include filter in the options drop down in UC?

Thanks much.

Click Session -> Session Properties... then enter a comma delimited list of file masks to be excluded in the "Ignore folders/file types" text box. The load button (arrow) between the filepath MRU dropdowns will enable. Click it to refresh the screen and the "ignored" files will disappear.
