That worked!
I can't stand Powershell so here's some quick C# code that generates Powershell Dropbox ignore commands for every bin or obj folder in a root folder (since Visual Studio has a habit of throwing a ton of these all over a Solution/Project, and retyping all those paths is annoying).
public void MakePaths()
{
string rootPath = @"C:\Users\Chris\Dropbox\Code\2017\BrassNine";
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach(var path in problemFolders(rootPath))
{
sb.AppendLine($"Set-Content -Path '{path}' -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1");
}
string script = sb.ToString();
}
protected IEnumerable<string> problemFolders(string rootPath)
{
var dir = new DirectoryInfo(rootPath);
foreach (var badDir in dir.EnumerateDirectories("bin", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
yield return badDir.FullName;
foreach (var badDir in dir.EnumerateDirectories("obj", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
yield return badDir.FullName;
}
The script variable will be the Powershell lines to copy/paste into a Powershell window or .ps1 script.
I'm dumping mine into a root-level file named DropboxIgnores.ps1 so I can run it each time I restore to a new machine, since I don't think these ignores sync.
