#84 Exclude These Files does not work

[Klaus]

I am trying to exclude files like temporary files created by MS Word "~$.", but the "Preview" function does not exclude them. Check also the "Synchronize" Function.

What exclusion pattern are you using? Can you try ~$.* and /^~\$\..*/?

[Klaus]

I have tried the following strings: ~$. and /^~\$../ because the file have the filename as ~$xxxxxxxxetcxxx.yyy.
Both have not worked.

I have tried the following strings: ~$*.* and /^~\$*..*/ because the file have the filename as ~$xxxxxxxxetcxxx.yyy.
Both have not worked.

[Clément Pit-Claudel]

Please try /^~\$.*/

[Klaus]

Yes, it worked. But the string was as follow /^~\$*.*/ !!!
This format is not intuitive to the people that do not work with programming, so I suggest to accept the easier format ~$*.* for the general user.

[Clément Pit-Claudel]

I don't this you need the extra * after the \$. Accepting the simpler format would be an improvement, but unfortunately I don't have time to work on it at the moment.
