1358: Folder scanning fails to accept exclusions [#827]

Post by PhYrE »

I have
M:
\Media
\Albums
\Singles
\Incoming
\Video
as my folder structure.

In the rescan, I have Media with the checkbox to be scanned on startup and continuously, and thus Albums, Singles, Video are checked. I have unchecked Incoming. Thus the Media folder is a square (partial selection)

Example here http://img855.imageshack.us/i/clipboard01bj.jpg/

When I add an album into incoming, it is still scanned into my library.

Thus it doesn't properly obey the setting provided.

bump this one as it seems to show the interface like it would work but doesn't exclude folders.

It's unclear whether we should allow folder exceptions to the File Monitor. See the pros and cons discussed at:
