Find files, Exclude folder

Post by RalphM »

RalphM (from the Tips&Tricks forum) wrote:Tip: I made it work and quit the loop, by adding "ZZZ" to the exclude folder list. Now it still finds all matching files in A and B, but skips C.
I don't know exactly with which beta it started, but my exclude folders didn't work anymore as they used to, i.e. the ZZZ didn't stop the loop.
I had to change this to *\ZZZ\* in order to stop the loop again.

Was this intended or have I just been lucky it worked before?

I changed this feature recently: excluded folders now can be defined using wildcards. In your case it means: you must add the wildcards.
