⚙️ Exclude path glob patterns (Current vault complement)

Definitions

  • Glob patterns to exclude files using advanced wildcard matching
  • More flexible than prefix patterns but with higher processing overhead
  • Supports complex patterns like **/attachments, **/*.{png,jpg}, Private/**
  • You can set multiple patterns by separating line breaks
  • default: (empty)

Performance Considerations

Performance Warning

Glob patterns add processing overhead during file indexing. Use ⚙️ Exclude prefix path patterns (Current vault complement) when possible for better performance.

Pattern Examples

Exclude files in attachments folders at any level

**/attachments/**

Exclude specific file types

**/*.{png,jpg,gif}
**/*.tmp

Exclude files in directories at vault root

Private/**
Templates/**

Complex patterns

**/attachments/**
**/*.{png,jpg,gif,pdf}
Private/**
Templates/drafts/**

Implementation Details

  • Invalid patterns are safely ignored with console warnings
  • Applied with OR logic - if any pattern matches, the file is excluded
  • Both prefix patterns and glob patterns are applied (files matching either are excluded)
