How to filter ALL EXCEPT one directory (or extension)

    Hi, simple question (I think): Is there a way to use Duplicator’s file filtering tool to exclude (from a NEW archive I want to create) all directories EXCEPT one I specify in the tool?

    A few days ago I used the tool to exclude a set of large image files from an archive I created. Uploaded that archive to a new host and used the Installer to unpack the files and database. Result: the site has been duplicated on the new host, but (as expected) large images are missing.

    So now I want to use Duplicator to create another archive, containing ONLY the images not in the first archive.

    THANKS in advance for your help.

  • Hey Jim,

    At this point the filter is exclusion based. Normally what post people do with larger archives is just filter their images folder. Create a backup and then FTP the images folder over. Maybe something for a future version someday possibly…

    Cheers~
