Exclude filters using the Web UI

I use the Web UI but I can’t find how to exclude particular directories or files (if it helps, I am using Windows 10). I read the stuff about a .filters file but I can’t find where that lives or how to use it with the WebUI.
Thanks

Never mind! Of course, as soon as I typed out the post, I found it!!

The easiest I found is to add import of another file in web ui, e.g.

@/etc/duplicacy/filers.txt

Or

@/Users/…/OneDrive/Documents/duplicacy_filters.txt

And then edit that file with your facourite text editor to configure exclusions. User experience editing exclusions today in web UI is broken in my opinion. It’s frustrating and ultimately unusable.

Another advantage of this approach is that you can persist that file elsewhere, e.g. in some cloud sync location.
