Hi JMarkin,

We do plan to have selective sync as a feature in the future. I'll let you know here when we add it.

coopersimon commented 2 years ago

We have added selective sync. Try it out with jotta-cli sync selective set.

Also, sync is now available on stable.

@coopersimon If I read your comments and the v2 documentation, it looks like the ".jottaignore" feature has been dropped with v2? Do I understand the documentation correctly?

This would be a complete showstopper for me. The ".jottaignore" was one of the greatest feature of the jotta-cli status, without it, Jotta would be a "simple" backup service like any other.

Hi gdav, we've replaced jotta ignore files with a new system. You can patch over to the new system with jotta-cli ignores patch. See more here: https://docs.jottacloud.com/en/articles/1437235-ignoring-files-and-folders-from-backup-with-jottacloud-cli

If this doesn't fit your needs, I'd be curious to hear why, so please let me know :)

@coopersimon After upgrading jotta-cli version, the current .ignore file stopped working (jotta uploaded everything). In jotta-cli ignores --help, I saw the command jotta-cli ignores use-version-2 and did it, and it fixed nothing. After some checking, I saw the command jotta-cli ignores patch and did it, but it says:

root@jottacloud:/src# jotta-cli ignores patch                        
ERROR  error patching ignores:
[patch /backup/homes ignores: ([) not supported by patterns v2]

Now I'm stuck. What and how should I do to make my lengthy .ignore file work again? Using commands to add/remove ignores rules (and as The Only Way) is not a good idea. We need to EDIT the rules in our favorite editors (ex, vscode).
