Watcher: Possibility to Exclude Files with a Specific Name?
Feature details
I would love to have the option to exclude certain files in monitored folders—for example, files that contain the word "encode" in their name. When I set the watcher on a directory that already contains many video files, all files get re-encoded, which I would like to avoid. This feature would help me prevent that.
Thank you!
The watcher does track what files have been encoded already, and should avoid trying to re-encode them. It should have a status of "Output". Is this not working for you? Or are you removing and re-adding those folders from the watch list?
The watcher is working perfectly. I only want to add directories to the watcher that already contain video files. All my files are named like filename_(encode), and I want to exclude these based on the suffix, for example (encode), so they are not encoded again.
