how to ignore a directory in meld?

Question

I am doing a directory comparison using Meld v3.20.4 on Ubuntu 20.04

I want to ignore a directory that looks like this

a
└── b
    ├── c
    │   ├── c1.csv
    │   ├── c2.log
    │   └── c3.txt
    └── d
        ├── d1.csv
        └── d1.txt

I want to ignore anything under directory b. I have tried adding a file filter like a/b/*. Doesn't work. Any help?

Answer 1

You can add the "b" folder in a new entry to the File Filters in Meld Preferences, but that will exclude all files and folders with the same name...
