Selective synch / .exclude file about grive2

[vitalif]

Where did you get the idea of using .exclude / .include files? grive never had support for them :)
Although I'm planning to implement something like this because you're not the only one asking :)

I wish I could remember, but I thought it was implemented with grive2. :-?

At this stage, is there any way to manage selective sync, other than by
using the -s switch?

[vitalif]

No, -s is currently the only way to do selective sync...

[j0nn0]

I'm not much of a programmer, not even bash, but there should be a way to do something like:

#! /bin/bash
for i in cat .include ; do
grive -s $i
done;

That would take care of local directories. Not sure about new remote directories -- I guess that would have to be managed manually at least initially, and then subsequent syncs would depend on adding the new directory to the .include file?
What do you think?

[vitalif]

I had an idea of adding regexp exclude parameter recently... maybe "include" parameter should be also converted to regexp? Although with perl regexp it's simple to implement exclude via include or vice versa with --exclude '^(?!include1|include2|include3|...)'

[vitalif]

I've just added --ignore regexp option, please check the master branch.
