The option to exclude a folder from the sync process is not working.

I'm syncing a folder on my local disk with a folder on my network.
I included a folder to be excluded from the process, but the process does not exclude the folder from the process, please see the image I attached.

Try prefixing the path with an asterisk.

Hello,
I tried including *Dropbox* in the deletion, but it didn't work.

Simply D:\Dropbox (without the wildcard) should work. What's happening is, the wildcard is excluding contents but not the folder itself, and since the folder doesn't exist in the destination the whole thing is being marked for copy.

In the next beta we'll make \* exclude the folder as well since this seems to be what people expect.

Hi Jon,
Using D:\Dropbox in the exclusion configuration works, but I had to create an empty Dropbox folder in the destination directory, otherwise the process synchronizes the Dropbox folder in the destination.
Thanks.
