Compactor ignoring excluded folder #80

I have the folder path %APPDATA%\Hamsket added to the exclusion list, but as you can see in the pictures Compactor is still compressing the files in said folder.

Compactor doesn't expand placeholders, so you'll have to be more explicit, e.g. *\AppData\Roaming\Hamsket.

I really don't recommend compacting your user profile - that's not what it's designed for. It's made for apps and their immutable data files, not important live data with complex locking needs.

Fair enough, thanks for the response and information :)
