detailed question about ignore.conf ... Library/metadata

[Fattie]

Hey gang,

 

In a typical Unity project.

 

i want to IGNORE the "metadata" folder.

 

Thus, any folders exactly like this:

 

/Library/metadata

or

 

something/Library/metadata

 

or

something/something/Library/metadata

or

 

something/something/something/Library/metadata

 

(etc)

 

What precisely should my ignore.conf file say?

 

ALSO can someone exactly explain the difference between

 

*/Library/metadata

 

and

 

*/Library/metadata/*

 

 

and

*/Library/metadata/

 

and

 

*/Library/metadata*

 

THANKS.

Hi,

 

If you want to ignore "something/something/something/Library/metadata" folder and all its content, you can add these lines to "ignore.conf" file:

 

*/Library/metadata

*/Library/metadata/*

 

--------------------------------

 

" /Library/metadata " ignores the folder and  "/Library/metadata/* " ignores the content of the folder.

 

" /Library/metadata* " also ignores folder names like "  /Library/metadata_folder "

 

Regards,

Carlos

Ahh!  ok now makes sense.

 

Hey I think there is  a TYPO in your post there - should edit it for clarity for future readers!!

 

in the fourth-last line of your post (immediately after the ------- ) there should be no stars at the beginning of the two examples, right?

OK, edited. I hope is clearer now
