[SOLVED] It appears that if entering the filters directly in the Filters box on the toolbar, you then use a minus sign in front of items you want to exclude.
However, if you enter your filters from the 'Rules/Name Filters' window, then you just simple enter files or folders to be excluded or included in the proper sub-window, WITHOUT using a minus sign. That was my error. After fact, it now seems quite logical of course
Additionally, you don't need to add the asterisk before a file/folder name, only when you want to exclude all files with a specific extension. Probably pretty obvious to most but I'm a novice so it might be helpful to other newbies.
-------------------------------------
I want to filter out a certain number files and extensions (desktop.ini, Thumbs.db, .sfv) from the comparison so I did as you see below, yet they are not filtered out?
What am I doing wrong?
Thx!
