skydrive or onedrive compatibility

Skydrive or Onedrive creates virtual files on your hard disk. Currently when BRU encounters these it refuses to work, and the whole rename activity becomes impossible. However onedrive is a real villain and requires the use of BRU. For instance when Onedrive encounters the same file on two computers it will often create 1 or two extra files each with the original name plus the name of the computer appended, so suddenly your disk is much fuller. I use BRU to take all files with these extensions and then remove them if there is already a file without that appendix. However I have to remove all virtual files to allow BRU to work. Can I suggest that you adapt BRU to just ignore the virtiual files which are hidden and system anyway.
