Unnecessary Alt-F1/F2 "drive" entries after installing "snap" package manager: "!/dev/loop"

[delafer]

Thanks for a great FAR manager port for Linux / Unix OS !!! :+1:

after installing "snap" package management system I have a lot of strange entries when selecting a disk/path for the left-right panel by pressing Alt-F1 or Alt-F2

I have a lot of entries (and even duplicate entries) which looking like:

/var/lib/snapd/snap/snapd/20092/                   |   !/dev/loop0
/var/lib/snapd/snap/snapd/20092/                   |   !/dev/loop0
/var/lib/snapd/snap/wine-platform-6-stable/19/     |   !/dev/loop1
/var/lib/snapd/snap/wine-platform-6-stable/19/     |   !/dev/loop1
/var/lib/snapd/snap/wine-platform-runtime/349/     |   !/dev/loop2
/var/lib/snapd/snap/wine-platform-runtime/349/     |   !/dev/loop2

it's certainly not a big problem, but it's very annoying / inconvenient and just kind of ugly :-( ...... Is there any possibility to filter or remove them?

P.S. Очень много лет пользовался FAR'ом и неожиданно для себя открыл этот поистине великолепно сделанный порт под linux. Огромное спасибо автору! Все еще изучаю все ее возможности. Сегодня установил под Arch linux через snap менеджер - IrfanView (WINE) и появилcя длинный список элементов при выборе пути / диска... (все имеют home: !/dev/loop<номер> и еще и дублируются по 2 раза). Не страшно, но как-то уж очень некрасиво и главное непонятно зачем они там появились... Знать бы как их оттуда убрать... Ни Thunar File Manager ни Double Commander такие пути для выбора не показывают...

Simply adjust your settings- press AltF1 -> F9 -> Exceptions. Detailed in #1458

It's works! you are the best!!! :+1: Kindly please consider to [1] include ....;/var/lib/snapd/* into the default exclusions list as well. (maybe you've already done it, and I have simply an outdated version) [2] or may be filter all "!/dev/loop<номер>" devices / locations.

Snap / Snapd is pretty popular packaging and deploying system and other users could have same issues...

You can compare your current & default values by far:config command (now in far2l it's draft without ability to change value of parameter).

Now parameter System.DriveExceptions has only ...;/var/snap/*;...

thanks for the reply and your support 👍 yeah, and if I'm understanding correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong):

• this is not enough so far as I have ...;/var/lib/snapd/*;... entries..
