how to exclude files that don't have an extension, if they are in a folder that has a "." in the name?

[Statick]

I'm trying to exclude some temp files from being copied, all of these files are a string of characters with no file extension, like "abcxyz123"

so I thought to change the include filter from "*" to "*.*" so it would only pick up files with an extension, which seemed to do the job, until I found that some of the containing folders also have a "." in the folder name

so like "\folder.name\abcxyz123"

as a result these folders are being selected and included along with all of their contents, including all of these temp files, even though the temp files still have no "." in the name

how can I exclude these files?

as a request - in lots of other sync software I've used, there are separate filters for folders and files, as well as the possibility to use regex as well as wildcards. implementing these would make this easy!

Try using your Include Filter of "*.*", while adding "*.*\" to your Exclude Filter.
