The exclude option is never being applied to transfers

[meatyalien]

I've been having a problem where the file exclude option (--exclude) is never applied to transfers. I've tried using it in the extra options field, as well as listing the exclude patterns the dedicated exclude tab. It doesn't seem to matter what the exclude pattern is, they are never applied.

As I'm on Mac (which likes to create . files), a basic example is using --exclude ".*" to exclude the files. That does not work though. This only occurs when using RcloneBrowser. If I copy the transfer command from RcloneBrowser and run it in terminal using rclone, all the options are properly applied.

Can you see what rclone command RB is using? you can see it when you press small icon on the right side of transfer stats in jobs tab

Wow, was not expecting that fast of a reply. Here's the command that it's using (which works fine in terminal):

/usr/local/bin/rclone sync --dry-run --delete-during --size-only --verbose --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --exclude .DS_Store --exclude "._*" --exclude "/*Icon*" --exclude "/.sync/**" --delete-excluded --stats 1s --stats-file-name-length 0 --fast-list LOCALDIRECTORY REMOTE:REMOTEDIRECTORY

And in comparison what is your command line which is working?

The exact same command above works in terminal. I copied the above command from RB (which failed in RB) and pasted it into terminal and ran it (which worked).

Cool. Thank you. Maybe something with parsing quotations characters… I will check

I just did some testing and that is the problem. The quotation marks cause it to not work in RB. So while removing them fixes it for RB, rclone command line syntax requires they exist for exclusions that include wildcards. So what works for one, doesn't work for the other.

Very good feedback! I will try to figure out how to tackle it.
