.SyncIgnore file is not syncing

[mhspace]

Excuse me if the question was already asked.

 

.SyncIgnore file seems not syncing between devices.

Is this a feature?

If so, may be it will be better to sync this file and add another (for example, '.SyncIgnoreLocal') which will not be synced?

 

Thanks.

.SyncIgnore file should not be synced.

List if files from .SyncIgnore is valid for current shared folder on specific machine.

Why do you think that it should be synced across multiply devices?

Thanks!

Example:

I have folder with pictures on Android phone.

It contains '.thumbnails' folder which should be not synced.

I added this folder to my PC, than added '.thumbnails' to .SyncIgnore.

Later, when I will add this folder to another PC, I will need to add '.thumbnails' to .SyncIgnore again.

And now imagine if I will install anoter Gallery app on Android phone which will create anoter folder (eg. .thumbs instead of .thumbnails), I will need to add another line to .SyncIgnore on two PCs.

 

So, again, may be it will be better to sync this file (.SyncIgnore), but add another one that will not be synced (eg. .SyncIgnoreLocal)?

Or may be is there some reasons why this can't be done?

Adding new entry to .SyncIgnore on your android will be enough.

Thanks!

Thank a lot!

I was sure that entry in .SyncIgnore blocks only incoming synchronization but not outcoming.
