OS Specific Default Filters?

chrismush · February 21, 2018, 7:42pm

New user-- still coming up to speed…

I’m looking at this screen shot–

Ok. Looks like something I want to use.

But, when I look for this on my local install, I don’t see it. Is there an option I need to enable or something? I’m using OS X 2.0.2.1(on the default channel).

Thanks!

Those default filters were added to in a newer canary build, so they’re not available on the latest beta yet.

But you haven’t missed much, those buttons didn’t actually work until last canary release 2 weeks ago

OK. Thanks for the info!

By the way, This will be working in the next experimental release, which is going to be out soon

I’m not sure when the beta is coming as there are still some bugs that need to be addressed.

What are these “default” sets? I like to know what is excluded from my backup! Is it documented somewhere? Can the link to this documentation be added to the GUI?

I believe this is only visible in the code which you can see at GitHub. In this case you’d want to check the various “/// Creates xxx filters” sections to see what filters are added for each selection type.

I also wanted to clarify that the OP screen shot is for Duplicati versions older than 2.0.3.5. For 2.0.3.5 and later it’s now merged into the Filters type selector.
