excluding directories in directory-diff
« on: August 02, 2007, 09:06:38 AM »
Hi,
When diff-ing two directories recursively with DiffZilla I'd like to be able to skip the '.svn' directories (I'm running Linux with subversion).
Somehow I don't manage to accomplish this with the existing "exclude" field. It seems to work only for files.
I'd like to be able to specify ".svn" in some exclude field and have DiffZilla skip all '.svn' directories.

Is this possible today?

Thanks.

To exclude a directory, you need to use "<pathname><FILESEP>", so in this case ".svn\" on Windows and ".svn/" on UNIX.  This should not have changed between 11.0.2 and 12.0.  No wildcards would be required after this (and they might actually cause a negative affect).

No - thanks ! It's really not worth it :)
But you see searching the forum may give even faster 'responses' ;)
