Wildcards in exclude paths?

    Let's say I have 25 user accounts in /home and each account might have a directory names .cache that I want to exclude. For example:

    /home/Nancy/.cache
/home/Bill/.cache
/home/Frank/.cache
/home/Nick/.cache
    How would this be expressed in my exclusions? Would this work?

    /home/*/.cache

    What if I only want to exclude those directories that start with N? Would this work?

    /home/^N*/.cache

    Hi again

    . We're adding this feature in the next major release v 2.9 - that's approximately in April. Currently, you'd need to uncheck all such folders manually

    I have version 6.1.3.9 and I am trying to exclude a subfolder that starts with "restored" such as E:\something\something\restored_20190919
    How will I exclude those subfolders?
