The Ignore specified folders frame

CloneSpy

The Ignore specified folders frame


In this frame you can specify by mask, any folders that should not be scanned.

If the check box on the upper left is enabled, a folder and all its sub-folders will not be scanned if the name of the folder matches a folder mask in the list box on the right.

You can add new folder masks to the list box by selecting Add folder mask. Then, the Insert mask window appears. After confirming your input to that window, the mask you entered will be added to the list.

Single entries in the list can be deleted by pressing the Del key on your keyboard. The whole list can be cleared if you click the Clear list button on the left side.

Pressing the Merge list button allows you to add entries to the list by loading a CloneSpy folder (*.csf) file. Such a file can be created by using the Save list button.

Double-clicking on a folder mask already added to the list box allows you to modify the selected folder mask. For this reason, the Insert mask window appears again.

Note: Recycle bin folders are never scanned, whether this option is activated or not. This means that folders with the names Recycled, Recycler, or $Recycle.Bin are ignored in all cases.
