But I discovered today that some exclude patterns in the settings dialog are highlightend with blue colors. And I don't understand why.

The function name patternHasNotEncryptableWildcard gives a hint what's going on.

In encfs, filenames are encrypted, too. A file called foo might be called BH4GwJuc when encrypted with encFS, but boo could become 9vblHFaK. A wildcard like ?oo would match both foo and boo, but no (logically derived) wildcard could possibly match both BH4GwJuc and 9vblHFaK.

So BiT is probably trying to tell the user: In this mode, I can't work with wildcards like that, because the filenames are not predictable when encrypted.

Cheers
