Hi Support Team,

I have a ContinuaCI Copy Action with multiple "File Names / Patterns":  
\*.txt  
\*.doc  
\*.pdf  
\*.chm

Considering there is one file of each file extension except for \*.doc the Contrinua Log will contain:

(Source)\*.txt \> (target)  
&nbsp; SomeFile.txt  
&nbsp; SomeFile.pdf  
&nbsp; SomeFile.chm  
&nbsp;  
(Source)\*.doc \> (target)  
&nbsp; SomeFile.txt  
&nbsp; SomeFile.pdf  
&nbsp; SomeFile.chm  
&nbsp;  
(Source)\*.pdf \> (target)  
&nbsp; SomeFile.txt  
&nbsp; SomeFile.pdf  
&nbsp; SomeFile.chm  
&nbsp;  
(Source)\*.chm \> (target)  
&nbsp; SomeFile.txt  
&nbsp; SomeFile.pdf  
&nbsp; SomeFile.chm  
&nbsp;  
Having 12 patterns leading to 1001 files will blow up the log with 12012 log lines containing 12 times the same 1001 files. Besides the huge size it is impossible to see which pattern was successful or not. In the example above the log does not make it clear that there was no doc file because the list is not empty (consider this with a list of&nbsp;1001 lines...).

Best regards  
Michael
