file_ext, doesnotcontain about organize HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Ivan,
the upcoming release of organize includes a syntax to exclude files and folders. I'll let you know as soon as it is released 👍

from organize.

Version 1.4 now has support to exclude / include files via glob syntax.
https://organize.readthedocs.io/en/latest/page/config.html#excluding-files-and-folders

First make sure to update to the latest version:

pip install -U organize-tool

Now you can express your rule like this:

rules:
  - folders:
      - '~/Downloads/*love*'
      - '~/Downloads/*patience*'
      - '! ~/Downloads/*exclude_this*'
    filters:
      - LastModified          
    actions:
      - Move: '~/Downloads/FAITH/'

So this is a workaround, I guess an option to match multiple names in Filename would be nicer. I added it to the todo list.

Greetings,
