Folder path for specific import filter

Post by Matze »

Hi all,
I want to specify the folder path for my import filter.

E.g. the following example below looks in the entire content and collect ALL png, jpg and eps image files.
But in the example below I only need files from my layou image folder, e.g. the header and footer images from my page layouts (eps files) or the images from my html master page (png and jpg files.

My tests with putting absolute or relative pathes to the include patterns are not working, I´m to stupid again :mrgreen:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CatapultProjectImport AutoSync="false" IncludePattern="*.png;*.css;*.flskn;*.flpgl;*.jpg;*.eps;" LastImport="2021-12-02T06:32:12.1904415+01:00">
<Files>
<Url Source="file:///Q:/MCD/Doku_Service_Neumann/_Flare_Template_GN/ProjectName_GN.flprj" AbsoluteSource="file:///Q:/MCD/Doku_Service_Neumann/_Flare_Template_GN/ProjectName_GN.flprj" />
</Files>

I don't think you can specify a folder in the import - you can just choose by file types, and by conditions.

I'd suggest using conditions -
(1) Mark the files you want to import with a condition.
(2) In the import, set: Include files - all files *.*, Import Conditions - include the condition, and select Auto-Exclude Non-Tagged Files.
