Hello,

Is it possible to ignore subfolder without valid file when updating?

CaptureOne us a tree of subfolders. They are imported into the database; with zero files. I can delete them from the database. After updating the picture folder, they are there again.

Thanks

You can set these folders to "hidden" in Windows Explorer.  Then check under Edit > Preferences > Indexing that the option to skip hidden folders is on.
Or you could disable the option there to include sub-folders...but that really works against IMatch is designed to work. IMatch by design indexes the folders you add to the database and all sub-folders, recursively.

I fear that I will have to add even more options, to ignore all the sub-folders stubborn applications like C1 insist on creating everywhere. As if database technology was never invented...
