Deactivate ignorelist temporarely for operations.

Hi!

I'm a great fan of the ignrorelist, because I work with versioning-systems and I don't want to see the internal used folders of these systems.

But when I copy a folder-structure I often want to copy the ignored files also.

Something is already discussed here: TC7: IgnoreList und Verzeichnis-Synchronisation
http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=14897&highlight=ignorierliste

I understand that it is important to be consistent to respect the ignorelist for all operations.

But: Is it possible to add in the dialogs/windows of operations like synchronize, copy, move... the option to deactivate the ignorelist for the current operation?

This option should be enabled only if an ignorelist is active so the user will be informed that files may be ignored by the operation. Also, this option shall be deactivated by default when opening a dialog/window.

It would be a great help for me...

Thx for reading it,
Mimo

cm_SwitchIgnoreList

Put it on a button (toolbar), will Toggle the ignorelist on/off.

Thx for answering.

I've forgotten to write that I know this possibility (I have already such an icon in the toolbar) but the problem is: I often forget that an ignorelist is active! :(

If I would see an active Checkbox to deactivate the ignorelist in a dialog I will be remembered that files may be ignored (and I can turn the ignorelist off only for that operation). :)

Make a button for this command then. You will see it "pressed" when it is active.
