Using Filter in Exlude Files Tab

Post by sk2107 »

Hello,

Is it possible to use a predefined filter in Include option in Exclude Files Tab (pic:)

I tried but it did not work unless I put the filter search values
(ani;apng;bmp;bpg;cur;gif;ico;jfi;jfif;jif;jpe;jpeg;jpg;pcx;png;psb;psd;rle;svg;tga;tif;tiff;webp;wmf)

Thank you
Regards

I have a hard disk that have millions of files and images and videos are a little part of it, and I receive backups in this device, so I want to limit the files in information updated to images and videos with having to include other files which is not necessary and will be a waste of resources and capacity.

But I am not looking for a solution for this as I put (ani;apng;bmp;bpg;cur;gif;ico;jfi;jfif;jif;jpe;jpeg;jpg;pcx;png;psb;psd;rle;svg;tga;tif;tiff;webp;wmf)
in the include only files and it is working fine, but this long string is originally pic: and I tried it but it did not work. so my question if there is a way to make it work.

Filter macros cannot be used in exclude filters.

Exclude filters must be well defined.
