the "file to exclude rule" works properly only with file name, path or extension. On the contrary it doesn't work with date o size exclusion criteria.
For example, if I apply to backup job the rule "test03", files greater than 1MB are not excluded (if I click preview all filenames remain black) or if I apply to backup job the rule "test06", files modify after 2008-03-31 are not excluded (if I click preview all filenames remain black)

[test03]
FilesToInclude=
FilesToExclude=|>1MB
FoldersToExclude=
[test06]
FilesToInclude=
FilesToExclude=|>2008-03-31
FoldersToExclude=

Hmmm,

there might be bugs with these functions, although they have been included for a long time they havent been documented, so I shall have a look as soon as I can.
