Ignore folder

[Yasir Ashfaque]

Hi,

There should be an option to ignore directory, seems like -i is not helping with regular expression.

As example:
sudo java -jar jdrivesync.jar --dry-run -l "/home/yasir/Google" -i /home/yasir/Google/Documents/**
Could not read file '/home/yasir/Google/Documents/Budget':Is a directory

udo java -jar jdrivesync.jar --dry-run -l "/home/yasir/Google" -i "/home/yasir/Google/Documents/Budget/"
'/home/yasir/Google/Documents/Budget/' does not exist.

Hello compyy,

the option -i expects a file that contains file or directory patterns, one pattern per line. So please try to create a file (for example jdrivesync.txt) and then pass the file location using the -i option:

java -jar jdrivesync.jar -i "/path/to/jdrivesync.txt" ...

Hi,

the option actually mentions that it expects an file:

-i,--ignore-file <ignore-file>
        Provides a file with newline separated file and/or path name patterns that should be ignored.
