Can certain files be excluded from copying?

0

Yes, there are two lines in the copy dialog, one for the target directory and a name change, and a second line for the files to be copied. Here you can not only specify file types to be copied (e.g. *.doc *.xls), but also those which should not be copied, e.g. *.* | *.bak *.old File types behind the vertical line will then not be copied. The line (pipe symbol) is used because it’s not allowed in normal file names.
