What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a complex,folder with many, many subdirectories and many, many files
within it, that periodically has new files added to it, and worse, also
periodically has new directories added to it (each of which have many
subdirectories and files within themselves).
2. Try to define a CryptSync pair that will sync only one or two specific files
within that directory.
3. Scream and pull your hair out in exasperation as you discover it is simply
not possible with the current CryptSync design.
What is the expected output?
There really needs to be a way to sync only specific files within a folder
WITHOUT having to specify a long list of files NOT to be synced (which may be
impossible to do (without constantly manually updating the CryptSync pair each
time you make a change to the source folder) if the folder in question
periodically has new directories and/or added to it).
What do you see instead?
I have tried using *.* for the "Don't want synced" option and "testfile.txt"
for the "Don't encrypt" option, but when I do that, NOTHING is synced. (The *.*
apparently overrides the "testfile.txt" specification).
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.0.264
Please provide any additional information below.
As stated in issue #131, there really needs to be an easier way to sync only
specific files within a given folder. With the current design it appears it is
impossible to do so.
