Thanks, I'm glad you were able to reproduce it.

The docx regex was just an example. Obviously I need regex for much more complex exclusions otherwise I would have sticked to the standard pattern

Let me know

We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we're able to fix it up

In the meantime, if you change the Exclude Files option to Pattern Match, you can exclude those files by doing *.docx

I just purchased the Pro version and run into a weird issue. As you can see in the screenshot, the Include Files regex works perfectly. But whatever I put in the Exclude Files regex does not change the list of files. A valid regex or blank or just a dot produces the same results. Only a wrong regex (e.g. a single open parenthesis) displays a regex error popup but any valid regex does not work. Any idea ?

Thanks! ]]>
