I have made available a patch for a new "exclude" option for fdupes 1.51 which I feel the Cygwin community, and others, may find useful. So as not to duplicate the post, please see my post over on the fdupes site: https://code.google.com/p/fdupes/issues/detail?id=36 Hoping this is found to be a useful feature! -Brendan (br3wski3) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
