Do not explore excluded folders

[PRSoftware]

Hello,

I use FreeFileSync 14.1 on Linux Mint 22.1 with a slow network connection.

I want to save a whole directory (for example: /home/myname/Documents) except a whole sub-folder (for example: /home/myname/Documents/myfolder) which contains very great number of files and sub-sub-folders.

In the configuration, I have added the directory /home/myname/Documents as the source element and specified "*/myfolder/" in the exception list.

When I launch the synchronization, FreeFileSync explore the whole content of the folder "myfolder" even if it is present in the exception list. As this folder has a very great number of elements, it takes a very long time for nothing because this folder will be excluded during the synchronization.

Would it be possible to treat the exclusions as soon as possible during the exploration of the source tree ?

Leave out the "*", then it will work.
