How to exclude certain filename and/or path patterns?

Open tobwz opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Assume I want to run PLC over a large partition.

But all files which contain

.mp4 or \tmp\

in their path or filename should be ignored.

How can I achieve this?

I miss an exclude option in search pattern entry field

Expected, usual syntax

-".mp4" -"\tmp\"

does not work

Can this be added?

It is not currently possible. The API that the app uses behind the scenes doesn't support excluding search patterns. It could perhaps be added in the app itself, to filter down the paths returned from the API. I imagine it would likely be quite a bit slower, but still possible to do.

PRs are welcomed :)
