Feature Enhancement: "Exclude via filter:" with a capture subfolder option eg \folder1\*

Version: FreeFileSync 7.8 Windows Platform

This would be an additional filter style(s) when the "Right Click" method is selected

Currently it seems filtering is mostly "file based" my suggestion would make it "sub folder aware" and "higher level folder aware"

Here is a typical example from a Windows 7 machine, where the "C:\Users\..." structure contains many subfolders that change often but are of low value being of a temporary nature.

\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\N5BCZACP\spacer.gif

With the "Feature Enhancement" the user would have these options presented in the "Exclude via filter:" list
\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\N5BCZACP\*
\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\*
\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*

Comment: It would seem that 3 - 5 layers above the particular file would likely cover most situations in the real world.

Comment: I know it is easy to edit the initial selection manually to achieve the above, but this requires an extra steps and some users may find this complicated and less user friendly.
