Hello :-)
I was just wondering if I can copy multiple folders and files at the smae time using this action, if I try to copy 2 specific folder located on root of drive C: and a file which is located in the root of C: as well, it doesn't work, this is what I have:

\Test1
\Test2
test.bld
(Zero file copied)

but if I have

\Test1
\Test2

or
test.bld
test1.bld

they get copied, is this a limitation of the copy step ( meaning only file or only folders in each step) or I am missing something? :(

Thank you all in advance :-)

The include values for broad matching are cumulative, so specifying

\Test1
\Test2
test.bld

means to include the file test.bld only underneath folders named Test1 and Test2.

If you wish to copy test.bld in the root and all files in Test1 and Test2, use advanced matching of:

/Test1/**/*
/Test2/**/*
test.bld
