Hi all, my first post here.

I am often in a situation where I want to (when copying files) exclude a folder which has some usual name (e.g. temp) but I do not want to exclude the folders with the same name which are deeper than the one I want to exclude. Could that be done using exclude filter?

Example:

some_folder
├───first
│   └───temp  <-- this I do not want to exclude
└───temp      <-- this I want to exclude


I want to select and copy some_folder and its contents and I want to exclude the temp folder which is at the first level of the tree but I do not want to exclude the temp folder(s) which is/are at deeper levels.

No sorry,  it currently only does matching on the name, not the complete path.

Thank you for your reply! I really like using Multi Commander, not only it reminds me of old DOS days but allows everything to be done much faster and more elegant compared to using Windows Explorer.
