Hi,
when I use Freecommander for searching "all" files for a containing text in a certain directory and try to exclude subfolders from the search, the subfolders aren't being ignored.
But I noticed that the exclude filter is only being ignored if I use "*.*" as the file name. If I specify a suffix like "*.txt" the exclude filter works like a charm.
Is this bug already known?
Regards
Simon

Here is an example.
Location tab
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=B0AEC6B90 ... 90&o=OneUp
Filters tab
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=B0AEC6B90 ... uY&o=OneUp
As you can see, I did exclude the .svn folder, nevertheless I get results in sub-.svn folders.

You should use:
Subfolder filter: *\.svn\*;*\lib\*
Activate the option "Use for full subfolder path...".
