Hi All,
I am trying to copy my photos from my Pictures directory to a remote. Unfortunately the Pictures folder also has the System photo library that I want to exclude from the backup. I have tried using --exclude-from but haven't been able to make it work...
I created a filter file with the following:
"Photos Library.photoslibrary/**"
"Photo Booth Library/**"
Then I use the --exclude-from flag to see if it works using this:
Pictures % rclone ls ./ --exclude-from filter
The list includes the Photos Library directory and all the files.
Interestingly, when I use --exclude it works!
Pictures % rclone ls ./ --exclude "Photos Library.photoslibrary/**"
I know I can use a double --exclude and call it a day but I like the clean approach of using a filter file in case I need to add more directories to exclude in future. Not sure why --exclude-from isn't working but --exclude is.
