Exclusion List

Displays the files excluded when you compare the folders with the baseline.

Excluded File Filter

Enter the file or file name mask that you want to exclude from the folder comparison. Click Add to add it to the file exclusion list.

For file name masks, you can use standard Windows wildcard characters. For instance, use the * symbol to represent multiple unknown characters in a file name. Use the ? symbol for a single unknown character in a file name.

For example, if you did not want to compare log files versions you would add *.log to the file exclusion list.
