When loading a new multi-file transfer, it is possible to automatically select only a subset of the files to download, based on file name and/or file size.
Enable this feature in
Settings > Transfers > Files. Look for the item that says "Auto-select files in new transfers". Click the corresponding checkbox to enable the feature with default settings, which will use a file-size threshold of 20% of the largest file in the transfer. To configure the exact auto-select settings, click the corresponding Configure button, which will show a popup window.
The Preset feature allows you to create multiple auto-select/auto-deselect configurations, which can be selected from within the transfer preload window from a drop-down menu that appears when the Auto button is clicked. For more information, see the
Transfer Preload Window support page.
File name matching is done with wildcards. The
* will match zero or more characters, and the
? will match exactly one character. For example, to match a term in the middle of a file name, use
*term*. To match a file extension, use
*.ext. To match a term at the beginning of a file name, use
term*. Put each match expression on it's own line.
