10.6 PHD file type exclusion I manage an environment that uses portable home directories for users with 10.6 for both the client and server. I've setup syncing via Workgroup Manager of pretty much entire home directories except for ~/Movies and ~/Music directories.

Unfortunately  I have a particular user that insists on downloading a lot of media (movies, tv shows) on the company provided laptop and leaving it in hierarchical folders on the Desktop, which then syncs multiple gigs every day to our fileserver when she gets on site.

How do I specify the exclusion of .avi and .mkv file extensions within just the ~/Desktop directory using Workgroup Manager?
If you never intend on .avi or .mkv files to be synced you may want to try the following.


Mobile Pane
Skip items that match any of the following
Choose Name Contains and type ".avi" (without quotes). 

Do the same for ".mkv" (without quotes).



If you do intend on syncing both file types and would like only to stop them from syncing when they are found within the Desktop folder you may want to try the following.


Mobile Pane
Skip items that match any of the following
Choose Full Path and type "~/Desktop/*.avi" (without quotes)

Do the same for "~/Desktop/*.mkv" (without quotes)
