Unlike internal symlinks, external symlinks cannot be synced.</p> <p>Type: symlink enum<br /> Default: follow<br /> Example: <code><symlink-extern>ignore</symlink-extern></code></p> <h3 id="tagconfig">tagconfig</h3> <p>Configures the local store for resource tags. If this element is specified, resource tags are stored locally.</p> <p>Optional elements: local-store, detect-changes, xattr-name, on-conflict</p> <h3 id="local-store">local-store</h3> <p>Specifies the tag-store type. Currently the only available type is <code>xattr</code>.</p> <p>The element can contain the attribute <code>format</code> with one of the following values: <code>text</code>, <code>csv</code>, <code>xml</code>, <code>macos</code>. The default value is <code>text</code>.</p> <p>Type: tagstore type enum<br /> Default: xattr<br /> Example: <code><local-store format="csv">xattr</local-store></code></p> <h3 id="xattr-name">xattr-name</h3> <p>Specifies the name of the extended attribute for storing tags. The default value is <code>tags</code>, unless you are using the <code>macos</code> format, where the default value is <code>com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags</code>.</p> <p>Type: string<br /> Default: tags<br /> Example: `<xattr-name>file_tags</xattr-name></p> <h3 id="detect-changes">detect-changes</h3> <p>Controls, if tag changes should be detected.</p> <p>Type: boolean<br /> Default: false<br /> Example: <code><detect-changes>true</detect-changes></code></p> <h3 id="on-conflict">on-conflict</h3> <p>Specifies the behavior, when tag conflicts occur.

The <em>pull</em>, <em>push</em> and <em>archive</em> command apply these filters to file paths. At first it is checked if a file is matching any include filter. If so only files matching not an exclude filter are further processed.</p> <p>It is also possible to filter resources by tags. Tags can dynamically be applied to individual files. The tag filter elements contains a tag filter expression. Only files that match the filter expression are synchronized.</p> <p>Note: The file path is relative to the directory path (and WebDAV collection) but always starts with an path separator.</p> <p>Optional elements: <code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code>, <code><tags></code></p> <h3 id="include">include</h3> <p>Controls which files will be included by <em>pull</em> and <em>push</em>. If an include filter is specified, only files matching this filter are included.</p> <p>Type: regex string<br /> Default: .*<br /> Example:</p> <pre><code><filter> <include>\.pdf$</include> </filter></code></pre> <h3 id="exclude">exclude</h3> <p>Controls which files will be excluded by <em>pull</em> and <em>push</em>.</p> <p>Type: regex string<br /> Example:</p> <pre><code><filter> <exclude>^/secretdir</exclude> <exclude>\.DS_Store$</exclude> </filter></code></pre> <h3 id="tags">tags</h3> <p>Filters resources by tags. Only resources, that are not a collection, are effected. If tags are not stored locally, the pull command still uses the filter.</p> <p>Filter Syntax:</p> <pre><code>filter ::= operator? , (tag_list | ("(" , filter , ")")+) tag_list ::= tag , ("," tag)* operator ::= "&" | "|" | "1" | "0"</code></pre> <p>Type: tag filter expression<br /> Example:</p> <pre><code><filter> <!-- sync only resources that have one of this tags --> <tags>| (tag1, tag2, tag3)</tags> </filter></code></pre> </div> <!-- end content --> </body> </html>
