Re: Subfolder filtering
Thank you! I suggest doing it in such a way that the regex syntax is checked first (probably a try/catch block). When processing paths, you will no longer need to catch exceptions due to syntax errors, because they have been checked in advance, and the loop will run faster. But I'm sure you know perfectly well how to do it.

Re: Subfolder filtering
Thank you! By the way: If this is not a problem, please add the ability to reject subfolders containing data (if it is not). For example, if you archive source codes, the Debug and Release working subfolders (although they are not empty) are not needed in the archive, they only take up space.

Re: Subfolder filtering
Hi
Is there any chance of implementing these changes? I have full copies set up. I make multiple copies on a weekly basis. Each copy could theoretically be slimmed down with temporary files, but the tool does not allow this. The archives are unnecessarily oversized. If you can find the time, could you please consider this?

Re: Subfolder filtering
But you can add those folders to the Exclusion list.
