This is the XCopy action, specifing exclusions on the "Exclude Files" tab
When you add "Other" type of filespec and key in \*.BAT FinalBuilder tells you that wildcards are not supported and offers to change it to ".BAT"
But when you select any item, edit it, add a wildcard, no warning is given and the wildcard specification is accepted (obviously does not work however)
Just a minor thing - but it caught me out

Hi Martin
I have fixed this so that when editing existing entries the same checking applies. The fix is available in the following build: [https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700\_933.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700_933.exe)
Regards,
Steve
