You are right: folder structure is just an example. It is not my Home
folder!
I have a problem with Synology shared folder. Problem is that Synology make
folder "#recycle" which is in the root of shared folder (in my example I
call this folder "donotindex") and beside this "#recycle" folder, in the
root, I have bunch of other folders...
In QS, I put entire shared folder in "Custom" with Depth 3.
So yes, my problematic folder is NOT in "User" but rather in "Custom"
catalogue (so "home" analogy can not be applied here) and I do need Depth
of 3.

This is exactly my scenario. In shared folder, beside "#recycle" folder, I
have dozen of other folders; and people keep adding, or deleting, them...
Solution for this "#recycle" folder would be some explicit option in QS to
exclude that particular folder from catalogue, and apparently right now, QS
does not have such option.
Is it possible to ask developers for such option? (and where?) :)
btw
solution would be to reorganise folders like this:
/#recycler
/qsindex/ <- and put all folders here, and also put this folder in QS
"Custom" catalogue.
This will skip indexing of #recycler folder
but it is pretty ugly solution: to add one more folder in hierarchy.
Or maybe I can somehow re-index Catalog after uncheking "donotindex" folder?

Thanks for hint!
and thank for your time!
