Ignoring Files and Folders

You can tell FileFlows to ignore specific files or entire folders by using .ffignore files.

Ignore a Folder​

To skip an entire folder and everything inside it, place a file named .ffignore in that folder.

Example:

/media/movies/.ffignore

This will make FileFlows ignore all files and subfolders under /media/movies/.

Ignore a Specific File​

To ignore a single file, create a file with the same name as the file you want to ignore, adding .ffignore at the end.

Example:

/media/movies/MyMovie.mkv.ffignore

This will make FileFlows ignore MyMovie.mkv, but continue to process other files in the same folder.
