Cannot 'Exclude temporarily' (Space key) a Directory (tree) if said directory (already) exists on the right hand side.
As it is, the directory name is a "virtual" (if you will) name, with the name "floating" as you scroll down the list.
You can select individual or a group of file names & they will be (temporarily) excluded as expected.
But you cannot exclude an entire directory tree - in an easy manner.
If said directory does not exist on the right hand side, you can select the directory name itself & that selects the directory & everything below, automatically.
I believe this is a behavior change (for the worse, IMO.)
1. Nirsoft, directory
2. Nirsoft\OLD, subdirectory to Nirsoft, exists on the Right
3. Nirstoft\X, subdirectory to Nirsoft, does not exist on the Right
So...
After my scan, say I didn't want to sync \Nirsoft\.* at all, before (with older versions of FFS), I would select \Nirsoft\ entry, & that would highlight Nirsoft & Nirsoft\OLD & Nirsoft\X, totally, Hit the Space bar & that entire tree is excluded (temporarily).
In this particular case, I wanted to exclude \OLD\.
Since there is an existing \OLD\ on the right, \OLD\ is not displayed as a directory entry (unto itself), so there is no (easy) way to exclude \OLD\, entirely. (Instead, I'd have to select the first \OLD\ filename, scroll down - a lot, then select the final \OLD\ filename to accomplish the same. Far less convenient.)
Now, the \X\ directory entry, as it does not (already) exist on the Right, I can select that (in a straight forward manner), which highlights everything in that tree, & prune it in one fell swoop.
