(enhancement) Include pattern to include files with a given extension

[Jose Luis Tirado]

I think it would be very interesting to be able to create a pattern to select all the files with a given extension, starting from folder and recursively down all its folder. For instance, I want to back up all of my *.conf files inside /etc to keep track of configuration changes.

Actually this is more like add an include pattern.

Actually, I want to backup my videos directory, but not the avi files. (basically: subtitles, posters, anything except the huge movie files), so I've set to include /home/user, exclude /home/user/Videos/*.avi.

The rsync command line in sysmon shows an exclude for /home/user/Videos/*.avi, but still backs them up... (changed it now to exlude /home/user/Videos/ which excludes everything and is fine as a temporary solution as I'll copy the other files in the init-callback)

As Dan pointed out in #1 this bug is about include pattern. Which is still not possible in BIT.

But you are looking for an exclude pattern. Adding '/home/user/Videos/**/*.avi' to exclude will do the trick.

With next major version 1.1.0 BIT can also exclude files by size.
