Hi,
is it possible with ACDSee to exclude not only specific folders but also all folders containing a certain string?
In ervery of my photo folders I have a subfolder named "orginals_stuff" and I always want to exclude these folders from database ... and I don't want to add hundreds of folder manually (and many more for the future avery week/month).
Thank you

You cannot exclude those folders automatically based on a string. You can, however, do a search for folders and pictures with the name "orginals_stuff". After that, the browser window shows only folders that match your search string. Mark all items, right click on one and select "exclude from database". By doing that, you have excluded all your "orginals_stuff"-folders that are currently available.

Good idea. But that won't help long term if you're constantly adding new folders like this. If I were the OP, I'd be looking into reorganizing my storage scheme so I didn't need excluded folders to be intermingled with included ones. Parallel trees, for example.

That's not an option.
I do not re-build by working-for-years file structure for an application.
From my point of view, an application must fit to my needs, not the other way around.
