Exclude file from image

Post by n8chavez »

I have an Nvidia directory that use several gb of shader files that I'd like to exclude from images; C:\Users\n8chavez\AppData\Local\NVIDIA. It's my understanding that the following line in my script should work, but it's not. The image size remains the same, which in unexpected.

/exlist=c:\scripts\ifw\exclude.txt

Contents of exclude.txt

Code: Select all

[f] C:\Users\n8chavez\AppData\Local\NVIDIA >
Any ideas on how I screwed this up?

Try without the space and drive letter:

Code: Select all

[f]\Users\n8chavez\AppData\Local\NVIDIA >

No apparent effect. The resulting image file remained the same size. The same is true for

Code: Select all

[f]"c:\Users\n8chavez\AppData\Local\NVIDIA" >
. No effect there either.

Looks like it needs a trailing backslash to indicate it's a folder:

Code: Select all

[f]\Users\n8chavez\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\ >
Also check the log. It should show the file and contents if it's being pulled in okay.

Really? That was it?!? Adding the trailing backlash worked. Thanks!
