I've seen requests for this kind of functionality before, though I think that this is the first time rsync has been mentioned. The gist is: it would be nice to support <insert tool here>'s method of ignoring files. That's totally reasonable, but unfortunately our filter system just isn't built to do it at the moment. There's no code available for this, but I think this is a great use case for a plugin system. > The would reduce the useful different files that change between two backups. > Though I don't know how "low-level" this ability has to be implemented (it > may prove useful for diff, or for duplicity also) > The .rsync-filter file format doesn't seem too complex but the directories > exclusion/inclusion priorities tweaks it implies may sometimes be tricky. > I'm sorry not being able to help you further in attempting an > implementation, but I send the request anyway. Could you file this in bugzilla? That way, even if it doesn't happen straight away, at least it won't get lost. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
