seafile-ignore.txt
isn't powerful enough
#2610
Comments
It would be great to have that functionality in seafile. Is it on the roadmap? |
We want to keep the ignore feature simple. So this feature is not in our roadmap. |
Why? It's so limited now. I can't even sync only one file, instead I need to ignore all files except one manually, and check if the program, that generate these files, don't add new on updates. |

Currently,
seafile-ignore.txt
only supports*
and?
wildcards. Furthermore, it works completely different from.gitignore
.The main problem is in uses of
glib
's glob pattern matching, which covers only basics. You should write your own function for pattern matching, which will work the same as.gitignore
file because it's expected from the ignore file.After my investigation, I found
seaf_repo_check_ignore_file
indaemon/repo-mgr.c
, which looks like what I looked for. Unfortunately, I'm too bad in C, and I can't make requested here changes myself.I also found few other issues with same proposes (#875, #762 and maybe some others) which were silently closed, I hope this feature request will not be the next?
