How can you do a "global exclude directory"?
Updated: 29 Jul 2010 | 2 comments
Q:
How can you do a "global exclude directory"? Is there a way to set a true "safe place" for downloads (like folder X is off-limits). Or is this on a per-app basis?
A:
See this article, "An Example Config for Excludes and Data Layers" While we don't have an actual "global exclude" option, we do have a tool that will apply an exclude list to all layers on a box.

In order to manage exclude
In order to manage exclude entries I use ExcludeGen and ExcludeCopy. Managing data with virtualized applications explains how to manage data.
Now back to your question. Create a layer with an exclude entry for the directory you want excluded then use ExcludeCopy like this "ExcludeCopy TemplateLayerName * -F"
This will copy the exclude entry to all the layers on the machine. Now you have a global exclude.
