GreatMarko Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Are the contents of your .SyncIgnore files identical on ALL devices you're syncing between? If not, they should be! ...but you need to make these changes to the .SyncIgnore files with BitTorrent Sync not running. Only when you've made the changes to all the corresponding .SyncIgnore files on your various devices should BitTorrent Sync then be run."*.iso" should then exclude all .iso files from syncing.There's a few more examples of how to use .SyncIgnore files in the Unofficial FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagex Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 What if you don't have control over all the devices connected to that share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 What if you don't have control over all the devices connected to that share?Then unfortunately, you won't be able to correctly exclude files from sync'ing at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingreiner Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have also found the current .SyncIgnore behavior unhelpful for managing public collections that are read/write. Someone keeps adding huge rmvb videos to a collection of ebooks. I wouldn't really care if I could configure .SyncIgnore to not sync these files to me.If this has been discussed so many times, perhaps it should be clarified in the unofficial FAQ?Wouldn't it be nice to have the hooks to call out to external programs before and after a file is transferred? That would enable completely custom syncignore behaviors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
