This include filter is strange and can be replaced by a single `*`.

This is the reason why empy folders are excluded. The time stamp filter (as well as the file size filter) exclude all folders, but this is overwritten if they contain items that are not ...

Fiddling more with this, it looks like what is affecting it is setting a Timespan.

Is there a way around this? As I'm only trying to sync "recent" things. If I pull everything I will not have enough room locally.

I've set the Sync to: "<- Two Way ->"

I'm syncing a local folder with a network folder that a lot of other people work on directly, including creating empty folders for future use of existing projects.

Unfortunately my FFS is not syncing these empty folders to me locally when they are created, is there a way to do this? Thank you!
