Add more examples to help

[huuurz]

Hi,
in https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=exclude-items please add more examples to make it clearer.

If I want to exclude something via rightclick on the bottom left, the menu often offers something like

\myfolder\
*\myfolder\


and you don't know what the difference is.

So please add

All folders named "SubFolder" below base directory            *\SubFolder\


directly under

Single folder C:\Source\SubFolder                              \SubFolder\


Also please add, what asterisk at the end means (not sure if the following is correct).
So

*\SubFolder\   ===   *\SubFolder\*


but why do I need a trailing asterisk in the example

*temp*


?

What about foldernames that have dots?

\SubFolder\*.tmp


also matches the files located under

C:\SubFolder\test.tmp\examplefile.txt


?

So from the help

*.txt files located in subdirectories of base directories     \*\*.txt


should actually analouge to the third line in help be

All files (and folders) ending with ".txt" located in subdirectories of base directories     \*\*.txt


It's just a bit confusing, I think the help could need some more examples.

Thanks and best regards,
huuurz

These suggestions would be helpful. One critical error I've noticed in a lot of user manuals is that they assume users know much more than they actually do know.
