Feature-request:
The "files-from" flag only accepts a file. It would be nice if it accepted a remote and used its contents as a criterion for the operation.
Lets say I am doing a copy operation from FolderA to FolderB. But I want to copy only those files that exist in FolderC. Currently the way it's done is, first I save the filelist of FolderC to a text file. Then I run the command:
rclone copy FolderA FolderB --files-from filelist.txt
If instead the --files-from flag could accept FolderC as a parameter, it would save the user from having to first create a text file with the list of FolderC contents.
Another use-case is if I am doing a cleanup of my Onedrive and would like to delete only the files that exist locally on my drive.
rclone delete Onedrive:pictures\plants --files-from d:\pictures\plants
Hope it makes sense and is considered to be incorporated in the upcoming versions of Rclone. Perhaps, it'd be nice if 'include-from' and 'exclude-from' too received this feature.
Thanks in advance.
