Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere/many times. I have spent a while searching, honest.

I am trying (and failing) to construct a filter that excludes folders that contain a certain file type, e.g. I want to say to BC "compare these drives, but only compare folders that do not contain *.jpg files".

I am sure there's a simple way, but...

It is possible to exclude jpg files, but there isn't a way to exclude an entire folder if any of the files inside it are jpg files.

To exclude all jpg files, enter -*.jpg in the Filters: toolbar.
