tree with include/exclude

Post by *dagoon »

Hi
I'm looking for tool that would allow me to:
- show the tree for a drive
- select branches of the tree (recursive, but with possibility of
excluding any of sub-branches)
- save result to file

Such interface is commonly used in backup applications (when you
select which folders are to be backed up). It's usually implemented
as tree with checkboxes. Similar interface is also used in setup
programs (like for MS Office or so).

This is not really the request for new feature of TC (because this is not
really common need I think) - but many of you work with
disk/file-related utilities, maybe somebody knows something that
would do what I need.

thanks for any info.
regards

Have you tried to use TreeView (Ctrl_F8) and then select the directories you want and use one of these packer plugins:
- catalogmaker
- diskdir
They make a list of the files and directories in a single file.

There is also good plugin TreeCopy which copies the selected directories and files form TreeView or BranchView with the whole structure of directories.

I know them, but they don't do at least 2 things I need:
- no sbudirectory exclude (eg. I need all in c:\x but not in c:\x\y).
- no re-read the list into the tree form (ie. I can see contents of .lst file but not in tree-form)

You know - I need something with interface like:

True, that's not exactly what you want but I think you can exclude what you want - just select only the subdirectories you want to save.
Unfortunately AFAIK you can't view the list file as a tree. :-(
