Before I run into the risk of damaging my files, I couldn't really figure out what to enter in the dialog box, when I open it from the drawers info button on the tool bar. I have a folder which I want to exclude from updating which is below the root of my project folder. Do I have to enter the name of that folder in the name box , and then alter the RE ?
According to the manual, if I alter the default pattern from:
!.*/(.[^/]*|CVS|_darcs|{arch}|blib|.*~.nib|.*.(framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$
To :
!.*/(.[^/]*|CVS|_darcs|{arch}|blib|.*~.nib|.*.(MY_EXCLUDED_FOLDER|framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$
Can I be sure, that the Folder will not be altered ?
(I know, I could test against, it, by doing "find in project, but I'd like to know also, what the other dialog options mean, and what it does behind the scenes, when I concurrently move files and Folders around, and update in the meanwhile.)
What function does the "Save as absolute path" check box have in this context ?
Sorry for bothering again,
best regards, and many thanks in advance, marios

The folder reference patterns are only to filter items from display.
So by excluding a folder, it will disappear from the list. Sounds like you expect something else.

The ‘save as absolute path’ is really a no-op when using folder references. If you drag individual items to the project drawer, these will be saved relative to the project file, but that can be changed with this checkbox.
