--skip server & DELETE REMOTE issue

[kaczy44]

Hi,
I excluded by '--skip-server' all videos on server side (.mp4,.mov,*.3gp), but when I delete some video file on local and do sync with '--allowDelete remote' they were deleted also on server, so it seems --skip-server ignores my request. How can I exclude video files form deletion at remote side ?

Just to check, you are using --skipserver rather than --skip-server aren't you?

You should get a line printed along the lines of Excluding ... on client and ... on server. What exactly does it print for you?

This is exact command line that I execute:
picasawebsync.py -v -d D:\DCIM\ -m syncUpload --allowDelete remote -f both --skipserver ".mp4" ".mov" ".3gp" -s ".mp4" ".mov" ".3gp"

I have first line like this:
Excluding ..mp4\Z(?ms)|..mov\Z(?ms)|..3gp\Z(?ms) on client and ..mp4\Z(?ms)|..mov\Z(?ms)|..3gp\Z(?ms) on server

I'm on Windows 10 (python 2.7.13)

From memory they are glob expressions, so try *.mp4 etc

…

I've checked and you definitely need to use *.extension. I'll close for now. re-open if that still doesn't work.

[kaczy44]

I used it like this, but no effect:
picasawebsync.py -v -d D:\DCIM\ -m syncUpload --allowDelete remote -f both --skipserver "*.mp4" "*.mov" "*.3gp" -s "*.mp4" "*.mov" "*.3gp"
Could you please test it at your side ?

a) Are you remembering they are case sensitive? (this is possibly a problem if you are running WIndows?)
b) Do you need the quotes around each?
c) What "Excluding" line is now produced?
