[Plugin: WordPress File Monitor Plus] Ignore File Patterns

    I don’t think it is currently possible to ignore/exclude file patterns. It would be really nice though!
    E.g. look at the latest timthumb version. It uses .txt files for cached files. I would like to ignore those but still be able to see changes to any other file in the cache directory.

    Personally, I’d be thrilled to see an additional filter that uses regex and works on the full path of the file. This would allow for maximum flexibility while not generating any problems for backwards compatibility!

    Another option is to allow for simple wildcard patterns, e.g.

    path/to/directory/*.txt
themes/*/cache/*.txt

    (Internally I would still translate this to regular expressions though).

    🙂

    Can you possibly try:

    /my/absolute/vhost/path/wp-content/themes/mytheme/cache*
/my/absolute/vhost/path/_backwpup-abc12*

    Hi Scott,
    damn, it looks like they are working both flawlessly now. No idea what I did wrong the first time. I could swear that I tried the first of your two versions (lines ending in /*, no separation characters) even multiple times with no luck.
    Anyway, thanks for your help!
    Cheers, Jörg.

    No Worries.

    Possibly a rouge space at the start or end of the line perhaps?

    Very well possible.
