Summary
There's currently a --skip-videos flag, allowing videos to be either included or excluded. I would like to see this replaced with a more flexible filter, to be able to include or exclude based on media type.
Context
Currently I use Photosync to backup all photos and videos from my iPhone to my NAS. I have this configured to then delete the videos from iCloud, but to leave the photos - they don't take up nearly as much space and there are benefitd to retaining them in iCloud. I would prefer to migrate to icloudpd, but there's currently no way to achieve something similar. A media type filter would allow me to run two jobs - one to sync and then delete only videos, and another to sync (but leave) only photos.
There are no doubt other use cases where being able to run an icloudpd job on a specific media type would be useful.
