BackUp: Why not possible to select and deselect on the right side?

Submitted by ypsy on August 21, 2008 - 7:24am

Hi,

IMHO it is very complicated to exclude a folder! Why is it impossible to deselect subfolders after selecting the main folder on the right side of the backup-windows.

And: When i click "preview" EVERY subfolder turned red, although there are no rules activated Sad.

Otherwise a great program Laughing out loud!

A

right click menu to do this will be added in the next release. As for the second point I am afraid I cannot reproduce this, can you give me a set of steps that you followed please?

1. Thats very good!! Than

1. Thats very good!! Than your problem is perfect as it is ;D! I can't wait to see the update Eye-wink!

2. *lol* I can´t belive it!! Tried everything to reproduce that problem, but now it works Laughing out loud - strange thing!! If it happens again, I let u know!

The addition of right

The addition of right clicking to add rules would make this program fantastic. I hope it comes soon. The current way to exclude folders is far too cumbersome to be useful.

Does not work in 2.0.1

It doesn't work in the new version Sad.

Excluding by right click and then preview: Nothing is red Sad

Excluding of subfolders by minus doesn't work either :,(

Did

you select a set of rules first?

'...and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...' JFK

No?!?

No, I didn't?! I thought those will be created by selecting?!

/EDIT: Ok, after setting up a set of rules and saving a job it works!

One last question: Does "Exclude by name" mean, files with the same name are excluded as well?

No

only files with the same name and file extension will be.
