Filtering not working when using \\?\UNC\ ?

[bjogen]

I have a profile in which I want to exclude one "root" folder. I tested a handful of syntaxes for the "exclude" filter. But none seem to work. This is pretty basic filtering, so I'm puzzled that it doesn't work.

I've tested these variant (exclude):

\\?\UNC\slffs002\c$\vol_1\pdb\200\*.*
\\?\UNC\slffs002\c$\vol_1\pdb\200\
\200\*.*
\200\

Can it has to do with the fact that I'm addressing the source with the \\?\UNC\ syntax?

Ahh...! I figured it out. I did not notice that there are different places to filter files vs. subfolders.

It is a slightly missleading descriptive text in the File Filter "tab". The text tells: "Exclude/Include Files by Name, Path or Extension"

Notice the word "Path" in this sentence... Is in principle folder. At least as I interpreted it.

Hi, yes, file filters apply to files only, while the subfolder filters apply to entire subfolders. Having both types provides more flexibility.
