#19 Backup project does not really show all the files to be backed up

[Thomas Mueller]

Backup project does not really show all the files to be backed up:
* If c:\source\project.dpr contains {#BACKUP .txt} the list shows c:\source*.txt rather than the actual file c:\source\project.txt that gets backed up.
* if c:\source\unit1.pas contains {#BACKUP .txt} the list shows c:\source*.txt rather than the actual file c:\source\unit.txt that getsbacked up.
* If {#BACKUP some\path*.txt} is used in one of these files, the list shows some\path*.txt rather than the files matching that mask which will get backed up.
* a special case of the latter is {#BACKUP .*.txt} which means all files in the directory containing the source file with that #BACKUP directive.
* The help is not really clear about the various uses of wildcards listed above.

[Thomas Mueller]

Did you just volunteer to fix it? ;-)

If I can do, Why not my friend :) But need more help, 'cos I don't know your classes, and where can I start.

[freeman35]

{#+BACKUP ...._files*.css} // apply mask, recursive folder add files to backup list
{#+BACKUP ...._files*.js}
{#BACKUP .sql} //add masked file(s) to backup list
{#-BACKUP .json} //exclude this mask to backup list
{#-BACKUP ....\baseFoo*.*}//exclude all folder, recursive folder

for FileList use TListView;
I added patch file.
