Snoop-de-dupe will automatically scan all files within the folders you select to watch for de-duplication. You can configure Snoop-de-dupe to exclude certain files or folders by name. You can also exclude files by minimum file size, maximum file size, and file attributes (e.g. hidden, system, read-only) |

|
|
Select the Set Excluded Files link to open the set excluded settings dialog |
|
|
Enter the name of one or more files/folders that you want to exclude from de-duplication and press the Add button. To remove an exclude from the list, select the item and press the Delete button. |

|
|
