Ability to Auto-Upload certain file types only

Open lukebarone opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to have the Auto-Uploads only for certain file types in certain folders. Currently, it also grabs many .tmp files that are created before the full file is available in the target folder for Nextcloud to grab.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the Auto-Uploads settings for a particular folder, an option of "All files", or "exclude filetypes [text box here]"

Describe alternatives you've considered

An app I need this for does not have an alternative - where it writes the .tmp files is where the final files are (.aac) that I want backed up.

Additional context

Unsure what else to offer, but I'd love to help this if possible.

I assume you're using Custom Folder rather than auto-detected folders? I think that's the only circumstance where this would happen.

I don't know if an update is planned in this respect, but the possibility of at least filter videos from photos would be much appreciated.

Most of the Camera app are now storing video at the same place than pictures, If you then want to separate them, simply selecting a folder is therefore not enough.

Another use case for this feature would be to only upload JPGs when a user shoots both raw and JPG and doesn't want their cloud storage to be cluttered with potentially temporary DNG files.
