-ext doesn't support the extension '*' and listing all possible extensions is tedious and error-prone.
-regExExclude excludes even files given explicitly with -includeFile.

At least the latter should be changed so that files given explicitly on the command line (with -if) are always included, no matter what.

Ok, seems I misuderstood the meaning of -includeFile.
Which makes the situation even worse!!
All I wand is to specify some files (using wildcards like tbb*.dll) and have them and oly them processed.

Hi Wolfgang,

Not supporting wildcards was a conscious design decision because it's too dangerous to easily include the wrong files. What you should do instead is have an MSBuild task (or your favorite scripting language) to copy the files you want into separate directories and use that with Paraffin. Paraffin is a very big hammer and wanted to minimize collateral damage of screwing up installs.

You are correct that -regExExclude should pay attention and give precedence to -includeFile. Please feel free to submit a patch to rectify that.
