Ignore add files with certain extension when adding a subproject ?

[ptc-5066493]

When adding a subproject that contains more folders and files within, it appears Integrity can be configured to ignore adding new files as member that have a certain file extension. For example any file with file extension with .bak will be ignored and these files will not be added.

Where in Integrity is this configured and where would I view the existing settings regarding the above point ?

You can add the file types that should be ignored in the 'Non-Members View'.

File / Preferences / Configuration management / Views / Non-Members View

and then click on "Change..." next to the "Options/Exclude" area.

Try to add a member with file extension *.bak as binary and not as text. If it works, it is possible to have a trigger implemented on your server which does not let you to add from a folder (as subproject) files considered to be binaries (lines containing nul chars or longer than 16 kB length for example)

If you want to deny certain file extentions in general, you should create a PRE Event source trigger that checks the file - extentions everytime a "Add Member" operation occurs.

Thist Trigger can be used either globally or or project level, depeing on your trigger setup.
