How to exclude every but one Folder from the Index

Post by Playa »

Hi,

I want to use the NTFS indexing instead of Folder indexing to scan an Raids Content exept for specific Folders and Files at top level.
For Example:
R:\$RECYCLE.BIN - exclude
R:\Private Data - exclude
R:\Backups - exclude
R:\Media - include

For this, my Idea was to let Everything scan the whole Raid and just remove the Entrys that should be excluded by using the Filterlist.
Sadly ime not really sure how to use Wildcards here, i tried something like [!R:\Media\*] (if Entry is not in R:\Media\), but i havent had success.
Of course i could exclude "Private Data" and "Backups", but there may be other Folders in the Future and i dont want to update the exclude list every Time for that.

Regards,
Playa

If I'm understanding...

Tools | Options | Indexes -> NTFS --> (R:), Include in database (leave enabled), Include only: R:\Media
