moogly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 On Create New Torrent dialog box, you have a line called Skip Files. You can use it to exclude some files inside the folder you want to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 @moogly, he was asking on skipping files on torrent creation, not on torrent adding.@nogames: move the files to another folder, create the torrent, move files back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I did a mistake but anyway he can skip some files when he has Create New Torrent.Of course a folder with only he wants to share is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogames Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thx schnurlos, almost guessed that was the solution, a bit annoying when doing a 50 gig multiple folder, but hey, who said life is easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yes, a better thing would be to add a "Browse" button on the right of "Skip files" line.So when the user clicks on it, uT opens the folder added as source and the user can use shortkeys like ctrl+a/ctrl+mouse/shift+mouse to select a batch of files to skip from this folder then validate (with Open button of the Explorer window).

schnurlos Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 moogly, where do you find a skip function when creating a torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 The Skip Files field allows you to skip files using specific filters. This field only gets activated if you use the "Add directory" button. Wildcards can be used to specify multiple files.So you choose a folder and you have the ability to skip some files before creating the .torrent.
