How to exclude specific folders *\venv, no matter their location (full path)?

[MachineVisionNewbie]

In .gitignore you can set excludes like *.tmp (for files) and *\folder (for folders).
No matter the exact relative path .\banana\folder or .\banana2\abc\folder the folder named "folder" will be ignored.

Is there something similar for voidtools everything?

Under "Options -> Indexes -> Exclude" there is an option to exclude files

But does it also work for folders?

Or more specific for files lying in a specific folder.
For example exclude all *.py within "C:\Program Files\"

Current version I'm working on is 15.0a - Build 1.5.0.1404a

[void]

Everything uses wildcards filters.
* = match any character (except \) any number of times.
** = match any character any number of times.
? = match a single character (except \)

*\venv

will exclude files matching the whole name: venv anywhere.

You can also use just:

venv

Please don't use spaces after ;
Spaces are treated literally.



For folders, add a folder filter and use:

foldername

-or-

*\foldername

Or more specific for files lying in a specific folder.
For example exclude all *.py within "C:\Program Files\"

To exclude py files directly in C:\Program files, set exclude files to:

C:\Program Files\*.py

To exclude py files in C:\Program files and subfolders, set exclude files to:

C:\Program Files\**.py
