For a File Monitor input: If I have a path say /foo/bar/ And inside of there are 4 sub folders. We'll call it A/ B/ C/ and D/ ; and I want Edge to monitor all CSV files inside /foo/bar/ except for anything in A/ Can I do this in 1 combination of "Search Path" and "Filename allowlist" ? Or do I need to create 3 specific file monitors with their direct paths?

Search path: /foo/bar Allowlist: !/foo/bar/A/ /foo/bar/

Thanks Jon.Have we thought about just adding a modal in the UI that says "Denylist" or something equivalent?

Denylist - good idea for a feature request.
