Filtering based on permissions

[Timtam]

Hello there,

can we already filter files/folders based on permissions? My use-case is a situation where I do have folders which I don't want to be shown or downloaded via zip, namely a .dav folder created by MS Windows WebDAV access. This folder shouldn't be shown in the HFS interface, nor should it be downloadable. I thought having a filter rule on directory level which you can define permissions for would be useful to prevent download/access/whatever for everyone on that .dav folder and its content. What do you think, did I miss something here or does that sound useful?

Thanks!

so you have folders named ".dav" or ending with ".dav" ?
that's what "masks" are good for, anyway

They're always called .dav, but they can occur in any folder. I tried to look up masks, because they sounded promising, and took the link which can be found within HFS, and then clicked on the Masks link on that wiki page, but that link is dead and leads to a 404. How dcould I use the masks to filter out that folder, and would that include zip downloads too?

thanks for reporting!
the dead link was caused by a bug in github, actually. I've just found out they have different result for preview and final page, which led me to making it wrong.
Fixed now.

I guess the mask you need is something like "**/.dav": { can_read: false }

This should be enough with default permissions at least.

Thanks, that did it! Its amazing how much is already possible with HFS, really an amazing piece of software. Keep up the great work.
