  1. Well I gave it another try. I was able to run tests doing a unidirectional sync from Windows 7 64bit > Mac (I don't see any version information but BTSync has been downloaded today.) 1.) Excluding folders Good news: I was able to fully exclude a folder: a\... fully excluded the folder named 'a' of my sync root directory. Fully exclude means that the folder does not even appear on sync target. If you write ainstead, i.e. without the backslash at the end of the line, then none of the files inside of the folder 'a' will be synced, not even the files inside of nested directories. But it is really strage that the entire (blank) directory structure below the folder 'a' (without any file) will be synced to the sync target. So far so good. The important thing appears to be the backslash at the end of the line in case you want to exclude folders. The bad news is that folder exculsion does not work with wildcards. If you write *\target\this does not mean, - in conjunction with code line no. 1 - that all target folders of the following structure will be fully excluded from the sync process: <your root>+---1¦ +---src¦ +---target+---2¦ +---src¦ +---target+---3 +---src +---targetIf you are using wildcards, it appears to make no difference if you write *\target\or *\targetor *\target\*The entire folder structure of 'target' and its nested folders will be synced without any files. 1.) Excluding files A file named 'New Text Document.txt' inside of sync root directory could be ignored by just adding the full filename: New Text Document.txtThis appears to prove that there are no issues with blanks. ... I did not do any further investigations yet
  2. Not working for me. Do you have a unidirectional sync also, i.e. are you using the read-only key?
  3. ... well, as I said it is completely ignored yes, I did a restart that as I said. The settings are .SyncIgnore is still completely ignored. Thanks for your response anyway.
  4. Actually I have exactly the same issue described in this thread and in other threads. In my environment all settings in .SyncIgnore are completely ignored. I did various tests with a sample folder with different .SyncIgnore entries: path separators / and \with and without * and \* at the line end.with Bittorrent Sync restartwithout having the .SyncIgnore file opened in my editorNo solution yet. I am doing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit --> read-only sync --> Linux (Synology NAS). Might be a problem of the unidirectional sync (read-only sync). Looking forward for a solution. Thx in advance.
