If I enter an exclusion as “C:\Users\username\Documents\some folder*” does it also exclude subfolders? Or do they have to be entered individually?
Whilst you don’t require the “speech quotes” in the exclusion, everything below the …\some folder* is excluded which is why you have to take care when using wildcard symbol *.
It would only be dumb if you hadn’t asked a question that you weren’t clear about the answer.
Yes, it includes sub folders.
