I want to know how the 'File Filters..." button on the Contents panel of PackageMaker 3.0 is suppose to work. At first, it looks like a way to exclude certain files from being added to the list. But my attempts seem to show that this is not the case. Also, the user guide for the new PackageMaker has nothing to say about this button. Can anyone provide me with some idea how it's suppose to work? It's for a feature article that I am writing for MacTech. I, too, think that's what it's for, and I use it (including some filter values I added on my own steam), and it seems to be working just fine for me. I believe I added these two: The first is because my sources are kept in Subversion, which splatters directories named ".svn" all over for its accounting. I was getting some of these in my Package, but they disappeared when I added this filter. The second is because I use Emacs to edit text files, and it makes backups into files whose names end in ~. Again, I was getting some copied into the package, but that stopped when I added this filter. Both those changes were actually made under Tiger and an earlier PackageMaker, but I'm using the same .pmproj file (not even saving it to a .pmdoc) to build now, on Leopard, and it still seems to be working.
