URL filters allow you to easily shape Project downloads by setting which files should be loaded and which should be skipped.
All URL Filters are divided into four sections:
To create a new filter press the corresponding button, fill in the filter sections and select an action to include or exclude files based on the filter settings. It can be done in the Project Settings / Advanced / URL Filters dialog or by using the Contents Tree popup menu.
You can leave a section empty to skip checking of this section.
Also, you can use the wildcards asterisk (*) and caret (^) to match patterns. Asterisk (*) wildcard character matches any number of characters. The caret (^) matches any single character.
The URL Filter sections work together based on their priorities, from File, the highest priority, through Directory and Server, to Protocol, the lowest priority.
For example,
Let’s assume that we have two filters (underline shows an empty section):
Exclude: http://_/download/_ and
Include: http://_/_/index.html.
In this case, the file http://www.site.com/download/index.html will be excluded by the first filter (Directory section) and included by the second one (File section). As the result, the file will be downloaded, because the File section has higher priority than the Directory section and therefore the second filter overrides the first one.
