For anyone else having trouble with custom files until this can be fixed, you can use a custom application to sync custom configuration_files:

# ~/.mackup/custom_files.cfg

[application]
name = custom_files

[configuration_files]
.gitignore_global
.pythonrc
.hushlogin

Do no forget to include custom_files defined above in .mackup.cfg

# ~/.mackup.cfg
[storage]
engine = 

[applications_to_sync]
custom_files

@ctrngk are you sure? If that's correct, maybe we could include that in the custom files README?

https://github.com/lra/mackup/blob/master/doc/README.md#add-support-for-an-application-or-any-file-or-directory

I think it's working for me without the custom config name added to .mackup.cfg but I could be wrong 🤔

I have the usecase of wanting to setup some apps to sync to a .dotfiles folder, while some others (plists and what not) should go into iCloud / Dropbox. Passing a custom .mackup.cfg file would solve this

Is this what this ticket means by "custom config files"?
