Copying from laptop to network without copying empty folders

[malega]

I have set up a profile in VVPro to look for files created within the past few days. I set up VVLauncher to copy these files as I work to my network computer's shared folder.

However, the only way it seems to work is if vice versa copies all the folders in my laptop, even if the folders are empty. That is, if I set VV to ignore empty folders, this apparently ignores subfolders that contain data, if the main folder is empty.

So, I have several thousand folders. If I change a few files, I would like VV to find those files and copy them to my network computer, but I would prefer if it did not also copy all the subfolders which do not contain any change files. Please note that since I set a date limitation, it does not copy the actual files in the subfolders, just the subfolder itself.

Is this a glitch in VV or is there a way to work around this?

Thanks

Thanks, if you set VV to ignore empty folders, it should not ignore subfolders that contain data, could you send us a screenshot showing this, or part of the log file, so we can reproduce the issue ? thanks
