Easier way to skip binary files.

[NextSeason]

While using gulp-file-include, I think we must set src with !*.{jpg,png,jpeg,gif,bmp,woff,eot,tff...} to make the process skip compile binary files. Maybe it will be better if add a param in options just like some others plugins . { skipBinary : true } Or is there anyway to do this but I didn't find it in documentation ?

Do you use a single gulp task to copy all resources?

If so, the best answer IMHO would be to have gulp tasks with their own src, pipe, and dest pipeline for each major file type. That way you can control which files are sent through gulp-file-include (and other plugins) and which ones aren't. Then create a default gulp task to do them all (using the dependency parameter). Example:

gulp.task("html", function () {
	return gulp.src("*.html")
	.pipe(fileInclude({ prefix: "@@", basepath: "./templates/"}))
	.pipe(gulp.dest(destFolder));
});

gulp.task("styles", function (callback) {
	return gulp.src("*.css").pipe(minifyCSS()).pipe(gulp.dest("output/"));
});

gulp.task("scripts", function (callback) {
	return gulp.src("*.css").pipe(uglify()).pipe(gulp.dest("output/"));
});

gulp.task("binary", function() {
	return gulp.src("*.{jpg,png,jpeg,gif,bmp...}").pipe(gulp.dest("output/"));
});

gulp.task("default", ["scripts","styles","html","binary"], function (callback) {});
