Make .f2fignore cumulative over tree #50

Closed julienV closed 8 years ago

julienV commented 8 years ago

First, i'd like to say thank you for this tool, works really nice ! The only problem i had was that uploading video takes forever, so i wanted to exclude them temporarily to upload pictures first. using .f2fignore works, but i had to put one in each folder to upload, and them remove them when pictures are uploaded and i can resume sending videos. With many folders, it's rather a pain in the ass to do manually ;) So, what i did was modify the script so that .f2folder get cumulative over the tree, meaning that for the folder path/to/my/many/picture/folder the ignoreglobs used for matching files in current folder will contain the content of the .f2fignore files from path, path/to, path/to/my, etc...

it shouldn't break anything ;)

Thanks! This bit me too but I didn't have enough videos for it to get so annoying that I would do anything. Also I get the feeling that this won't stop until we've implemented all of the .gitignore syntax, but this is a good solution for now that covers most use cases I think :-D

yes, full .gitignore style syntax would be better, but that should do, It's only photos and videos after all. except if people mix it with other files, but doesn't seem a very common use case
