Currently, if you specify the folder path to filecopy_source_dataset, the contents of the entire folder will be copied, but many times I just want to copy some subfolders or files. I hope to provide include and Exclude filter for FileCopy Similar to Fastcopy (free file copy software from Japan).This will make FileCopy more powerful.

eg.

Include:2017*.shp ?Just copy the shape at the beginning of 2017?
Include:2017* ?Just copy the folder at the beginning of 2017?

Exclude:2017*.shp ?Copy all subfolders and files except the shape file at the beginning of 2017?
Exclude:2017* ?Copy all subfolders and files except the folder that begins in 2017?

Agree. In addition, it would also be convenient if the PATH reader could support the "negate" syntax in the Path Filter parameter or have "Negate Path Filter" (checkbox or Yes/No) parameter.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
