Scanning-Bug ?

Post by steve60 »

BestSync scans all the files in all folders (which takes some time...) even though I have configured several folders to be excluded.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug or is it by design ?
thanks for help

If sub-folders are excluded form synchronizing by "Exclude or include" setting, they will also be excluded from the synchronization.
How do you setup the excluding setting?

Yes, the excluded folders are not synchronized, but they are scanned - which is unnecessary and takes a long if there are a lot of files in these folders.
I'm doing it the 'normal' way (see the screenshot)
In the screenshot of the preview you can see that f.i. the 'metadata'-folders are scanned, but not synchronized.
