What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am using rclone copy with the --include filter to copy a single file from a local source directory to a local backup drive.
After upgrading from rclone v1.65.2 to rclone v1.66.0, besides copying the specified file, rclone also creates all subfolders of the source directory including their metadata on the backup drive. This erroneous behavior is independent of using or not using the --metadata flag.
The expected behavior is that rclone only copies the specified file, just as it did in previous versions.
Should I open an issue on GitHub?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.66.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22631.3672 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
None, local copy.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone copy "C:/Users/UserX/AppData/Roaming/AppY" "E:/Backup/AppY" --no-traverse --include "FileZ.txt" --config "" --log-level DEBUG
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
None specified as local copy (--config "").
A log from the command with the -vv flag.
