My idea is that under the folder that I add to digikam I have also sub-folders or sub-sub-folders that I wouldn't like to include and see in digikam but in the meantime I also wouldn't like to move them in another position. Using regex could be very nice because is flexible, anyway the possibility to use metacharacters is very important. Thanks a lot. Luca 1673283 1 caulier.gilles 2017-04-25 17:24:07 +0000 Please take a look to 5.5.0 release where we have introduced a exclusion feature about Database scan. It's located in Setup/Database panel. Gilles Caulier 1673377 2 luca.riva93 2017-04-26 06:42:27 +0000 Thanks for the reply. I've already looked at the feature present in the 5.5.0 but it seems that I can exclude only folder with a specific name (moreover without spaces). My need, instead, is to exclude every folder which name is not always exactly the same but only contains some words.

Best Regards Gilles Caulier 2401851 4 daniel.ouin 2025-02-24 10:02:09 +0000 This enhancement should be useful for me. Is it possible to include it in the next version? 2478139 5 lepeter2010 2025-12-19 15:10:12 +0000 If implementing RexEx is not yet available, simple wildcarding like would be nice as well. Examples for implementation: prefix*, *suffix 2478512 6 metzpinguin 2025-12-21 12:30:33 +0000 Git commit ab09daab2eff3e03b71d79d7dda5c4eb11f71d94 by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 21/12/2025 at 12:29.

Wildcard support should suffice. Maik
