filter must contain rule to include all wanted subfolders. Usually its
wise to use this rule to include all subfolders:</para>
- <screen>d: \\*$ ## Subdirectories</screen>
+ <screen>d: \\*$ ## Subfolders</screen>
<para>There can be one filter rule in one line. And rule cannot be split
to several lines. Common format for one filter line is like this:</para>
<para>or</para>
- <screen>d: \\directory$ ## Match given directory name</screen>
+ <screen>d: \\folder$ ## Match given folder name</screen>
<para>Rule begins with "<constant>f:</constant>" if it matches for
filenames and "<constant>d:</constant>" if it matches for folder names.
- (d comes from "directory".) Filenames are given to filter as is, there
- are no special characters added. But for folder names there must be
- "<constant>\\</constant>" in begin of folder name. This is done clearly
- to separate folder names and filenames. "<constant>##</constant>" is a
- comment separator, all characters in line after that are ignored by
+ (d comes from "folder".) Filenames are given to filter as is, there are
+ no special characters added. But for folder names there must be
+ "<constant>\\</constant>" in begin of folder name. The resulting "\"
+ char is a part of the folder name. This is done clearly to separate
+ folder names and filenames. "<constant>##</constant>" is a comment
+ separator, all characters in line after that are ignored by
WinMerge.</para>
