Interesting, so technically you could still 'subscribe' to a folder, but pause syncing by changing removing the "+ *", or would that remove all the files in directory? Order does sound important in this case, but having a ui in the app with a live updating view of the result set of the filter might make things less complicated.

Excellent, hopefully the will implement soon! This would really make Sync alot more powerful. Yes, that's a great idea. Maybe change the name of the file to .SyncFilter then. With this functionality, it opens up a whole new area of possibilities parsing music playlists and syncing only those songs Team-based root level folder sharing with selection of specific directories Syncing subsets of picture albums Further functionality would be having ui for the filter modification, showing you an active filtered list of a remote directory as you modify the filter so you can see exactly what you will be receiving (or not).

Currently I have one large music directory, but I only want to sync certain artists to my other computer. The way I achieve this is by setting up a sync folder pair for each artist subdirectory. I think it would be a great idea if a user could specify which files to only sync from a directory (opposite functionality of the .SyncIgnore). This would allow someone to sync specific artists (provided its organized as /root/artist from their root music folder, certain years from their root photo directory (provided its organized as /root/year), etc without having to create multiple folder pairs for each subset of files. It could be implemented exactly like .SyncIgnore, just have BTSync source it's filters from a hidden file called .SyncInclude.
