Hi, I want to use Robocopy to copy files, but I don't find where to select files that I want to copy. As build log display, the default file filter is \*.\*, but I don't want to copy all files. How can I do that ?

Hi Wei,
Although it’s entirely clear, you can specify the files in the ‘Extra Command Line Options’ field. I’ve added it to the to-do list to create a specific included files tab.
Regards,
Paul.
