Here is a new tool in a (as we suspect) a collection of tools to ease the work of you or any Sysadmin in the use of SWV.

 
Version 1.12.17 is available.
 
Why Excludes?
 
Excludes are either paths or file extensions you can exclude from a layer so the Layer won't virtualize the part that is either saved in a directory or saved as an certain file extension.
 
Excludes are in 2 flavors:
 
1. Layer Excludes
 
2. Global Excludes
 
1. Layer Excludes are specifically targeted to a single layer, and Easy Excluder is focussed in that part.
 
2. Global Excludes are meant for all the Layers, sometimes this is better, but for the most part the per Layer setting is better (this is my personal opinion, this could differ per person)
 
Easy Excluder makes life simpler, it works as follows:
 
You pick a Layer you check the excludes and you Click Save!
 
Simple?
 
Even better, just hover over a Path Exclude and it will show you where that Path Exclude points to.
 
Is there a catch?
 
Yes, The Small Guy, the home user is able to use this as freeware, the Big Guy, the corporate user has to pay a small fee per computer where the tool is to be used on.
 
Requirements:
 
SWV 6.1x
 
.NET Framework 2.0 (SP1)
 
 
 
Have Fun, Frank

This looks great. Back in the

This looks great.

Back in the SVS days, there was Starfox' SVS MultiTool, and Layer Excludes mgmnt was one of its functions. I really miss it.

Could you add a tab for the global excludes too? I find them useful, because they are in effect (at least I hope so) when recording into a new layer, too.

Global Excludes

Martin,

I really wanted to add the globals, but I have a question open, and am waiting for response (http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/managed-s...)

When these are made available then I'll add the in a flash.

 

About Multitool, what are you missing, in case of functionality?
