exclude folder from compare scan?

[jimspoon]

I put this in the Exclude box:

"C:\Users\jsw\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\*"

But when I hit the Compare button, FFS still scans the files and folders in this folder. There are hundreds of thousands of files in that folder so the scan takes a very long time.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

the behaviour up to v1.18 is to scan everything and apply the filter AFTER comparison. Responding to feedback communicated here [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2794720&group_id=234430&atid=1093081] I am changing the behaviour to apply while comparing with v1.19. So your usecase will be covered very soon!

Best regards, Zenju

Thanks for your reply, I'll watch for the new version.
