The only problem you have is that you can't logically combine it in one go. The size-limit won't be limited to .nc-files, but ALL files. So you have to make 2 runs. - One for anything but .nc-files - One for only .nc-files with the size-limit or - One for anything smaller than size-limit - One for anything bigger than size-limit and excluding .nc-files Btw. In case you use "--delete-excluded" you are opting for a truckload of fun. But if i understand the man-page correctly the later example MAY have less of a problem, as the "--delete-excluded" says that it only applies to exclude/filters. --min-size/--max-size, according to man-page, aren't filelist-filters but transfer-filters. So --delete-excluded shouldn't apply. Without --delete-excluded you should be in the clear.
