Filters

Limit which dropped items and folder contents will be transferred by applying glob-like patterns to each name.

The Name Filter will be matched against the base name of items which are dropped onto DropDat or are contained inside a dropped folder.  Non-matching items will not be transferred.  Filters are only applied to folder contents when Streaming Folders is disabled.  Filters are not applied to the names of sub-folders.

Syntax

The IncludePattern takes the form of a semi-colon separated list of glob-like patterns with similar syntax to the Linux fnmatch function.  They work like typical shell globbing, with the following distinctions:

• ASCII Roman letters are case-insensitive.
• Multiple patterns may be separated by semi-colons.
• Each pattern must be less than 254 bytes under UTF-8 encoding.
• If no wildcards, escapes, or semi-colons are present, an asterisk will be placed at the start, end, and between all words.
• A ! character at the start of the string will negate the entire result: matching names will be excluded.

For example, "*.pdf;*.txt;*.doc" will match only files with the extension PDF, TXT, or DOC.
