--skip Syntax?

[g88704]

Hello,

thanks for your great tool and sorry for using the issue-system for a generic question.

In "download" mode I want to exclude the remote folders "Auto Backup" and "Profile Photos". I think this should be possible with the "--skip" or "-s" option but I don't know how the command line syntax must look like to achieve this.

Please can you give a short example for the "--skip" parameter?

Thanks and Regards

Michael

Hi,

The --s options are simply unix style wildcards (? and *). Details from the library I use are here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/fnmatch.html.

They are applied to the filenames on the local side and the title on the server side. Thinking about it, I should probably have client and sever skips as separate arguments.

I'm currently testing the following, which I think should work (note the last two ignore entries)

ignore="_/_ /AlbumArt_.jpg .ini .highlight .MOD .db .TXT .THM .info . bmp .txt .CR2 Auto-Backup_ Hangout:" python $SCRIPT_DIR/picasawebsync.py -v -d /c/photos/Leo/ /c/photos/Shared/ -dd - m syncUpload --purge -c2 -f photo -s $ignore >> $V_LOGS 2>&1

Hi. Just to let you know the latest release now has the --skip-server option which should do what you need. As -s they are simply glob expressions. Will try and tidy up docs this week. On 5 May 2014 18:33, "Leo Crawford" leo@leocrawford.org.uk wrote:
