Hi, from yours "I never used this option", which one of my two examples
do you mean you've never used?
Yes they're on the same level and also yes I know it's possible to
specify multiple follders. Problem is I've due to certain reasons so
many of them and therefore I hoped these two other options would be
quicker and smoother.
My problem with the plug-in is that I haven't a clue what is a "regular
expression" and what to do with it. I tried to figure it out looking at
that site you mentioned (it's also mentioned in the explanatory text for
the plug-in). I would really like to learn and understand things that
are new to me. From reading the explanatory text > ;
"-Define a regular expression to match file and folder names you don't
want to be scanned or visible when browsing your music folder. This can
eg. be useful to get rid of system folders your NAS creates for internal
use ("@eaDir" and the like).
The comparison is done on the actual item only, not its full path!
Please also note that the check will always be case sensitive! There are
many useful regex tester online. I'd strongly recommend you check your
expression against some of your items using eg. regex101.com.-"
Sadly that whole text basically tells me zero :-/ But if I had an
working example I would figure it out I suppose. So for example if I
would like the scan not to include any folder with "MP3" in the folder
name, HOW would a "regular expression" that will work look like? I hope
there must be certain rules? Or is it all "trial and error" in the
computing world? As many of you most likely easily can tell, I'm far
away from being a "dev", "coder" (or whatever it's called) as many here
in the forum seem to be.
I really appreciate your help, will try with your examples and see how
it goes. I'll report back later.
