Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to set default exclude filter values in the synchronization settings. I find myself constantly adding *\desktop.ini when i make a new sync and it would be nice if this was added for me each time a new sync is made. Thanks!

Every new sync configuration has that in the exclusion filter

sorry to sound dumb, but 100% that is not what is happening for me...i click new, go to filter, and this is all it contains:

\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\RECYCLE?\
*\thumbs.db

Well that's weird! You don't sound dumb, you see what you see. What version are you on? Windows, right?
When I click 'new', I get:
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\RECYCLE?\
*\desktop.ini
*\thumbs.db

I would uninstall, make sure the FFS folders are gone from "C:\Program Files\", "C:\ProgramData\", and "%APPDATA%"
Then resintall

This design needs some improvement: either expose via GUI or get rid.

Done: DefaultExclusionFilter can now be managed directly via the sync settings filter tab (F7):
