Selective sync: Search for easy approach

[khuemmeler (Klaus)]

Although this topic is discussed for years, I was not able to find a useful solution.

Given a directory-structure like

year2018

• project4711
  • Documentation
  • Source
  • Mail
• project4712
  • Source
  • Pictures year2017
• project3810
  • …

In basic I want to have a complete sync of ALL directories, but NO files.

If I want now to work with a specific project, I like to add it to the .stingnore somehow like !/year2018/project4712* And I expect to have a sync of all files of the project including and below “project4712”.

And the optional (optimal features:

• If the “project-include” is removed, also the project-directory should be emptied
• To have also empty-files (0-Bytes) like in BTSync/Resilio

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks and Regards Klaus

Its not possible unless you explicitly list each and every path.
