How to exclude subdirectories

[Pirella]

Hi
In my project I have a large img directory below which there is a tree with a few thousand subdirectories - each containing some image files and an index.php. Astrogrep will skip the images but still spend a very long time searching this subtree. So I would like to exclude it.

Under exclusions I specified "path" and then "c:\myproject\img" but this doesn't have the desired effect.

If is what I want possible? And if yes: how?

Thanks

Are you looking to exclude the entire directory or still search it but just exclude the images? It wasn't clear on what your desired effect should be.

If just excluding an entire directory, then under Exclusions, create a new entry and choose Directory, Path, and enter the full path. Choose equals and also the ignore case checkbox. That should exclude the entire directory from being searched.

Thanks for using AstroGrep!

Thank you for the answer.
I had forgotten the ignore case checkbox - thinking that case didn't matter under Windows.

Yeah, that is doing a text comparison on the value entered against the directory path instead of an actual directory comparison to keep it more generic.
