Mass folder structure edit
Mass folder structure edit
I sync files from the same folder structure across several hundred profiles. Is there a way to de-select a specific folder from the structure across all of those profiles at once?

Hello,
yes. In this case it will be best to add the folder as a relative path to the Exclusion Masks.
Or if the profiles start at different levels in the folder hierarchy, the exclusion could even be an absolute path.
Example for relative path: assuming your Exclusion Masks are currently similar to:
*.bak;*.tmp
Just add the relative path:
*.bak;*.tmp;\Path\To\Folder
It should be a path relative to the base folder, but start with a backslash.
Test this with one job.
If it works, make a backup copy of Syncovery.ini.
Then open Syncovery.ini with a good file editor like Notepad++ and look for the section
[ExcludeMasks]
Change all the lines similar to this:
xcl_ProfileName=*.bak;*.tmp
into this:
xcl_ProfileName=*.bak;*.tmp;\Path\To\Folder
Make sure nothing else is modified in Syncovery.ini and no lines are wrapped. There are some very long lines which must stay intact.
