Filters

Is there a way to specify filters such that I can get the following effect:

Files that match "c:\folder1\*.txt" are included, but all other files under "c:\folder1" are excluded.

I've tried several combinations of file and folder filters with no luck. This would be easy with firewall rules where the first match is what kicks in, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in VV. Thx.

Hi, try
exclude c:\folder1\*.*
include c:\folder1\*.txt

Ok, so just the opposite order.

The strange thing is that when you specify no path info, the rule automatically propagates recursively to subfolders, but with your example with path info, this only works for the folder specified. Is there any way to propagate the rule downward to subfolders? Otherwise you'd have to specify the rule for every subfolder. Thx.
