Hi

I tried to set up some exclusion filters for scanning, namely to exclude icons and bitmaps, however they do not seem to work at all. I can filter them out when exporting a workspace to send to a translator, but I can't stop them entering the process in the first place.

I have tried adding them both at the workspace and visual studio project level but to no avail. I cannot see any higher level filters which might override them (for example .*). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be missing? The only flaw I've found in an otherwise excellent and extremely useful product.

Many thanks

Steve

What were your filter expressions? Were you adding them in the "Exclude Filters" box?

If you select the root Workspace node and then select the "Scan Filters" tab you should see that, by default, there is a scan filter like:

Hi

I was adding them to the exclusion filters list and removing the default include filters for icons and bitmaps. These lists are the ones which are accessed by selecting the root workspace node. However, I've just tried this again on a new workspace and it works fine as you described by removing the default includes, and as you rightly say, the Remove Unused option does what it says on the tin. I was getting a bit hung up on the scan removing things!!

Many thanks for the swift help and a great product. I am putting together a bunch of documents to help our developers (and in-house translators) translate a very large enterprise app and having used this product before in a different job I'm recommending it here. Hoping my documents will prove its worth to my boss and they will pay up for some proper licenses as we have to translate to Mandarin and German pretty soon.

Cheers
