Is the OS character for a new subdirectory level \ or /?
Forward slash.

Quote:
If the text after the = is not preceded by \ or even .\ does the OS assume the top level? I.e. are Library, \Library, .\Library treated as the top level directory called Library?
Quote:
Is the exclusion a full path exclusion or are subdirectories automatically excluded? I.e. does excluding \MyFolder exclude files in MyFolder and recursively files in its subdirectories?
I don't remember (although I'll probably be looking at this later this week for an unrelated project doing stuff with Kobo sync). The KOBOeReader partition is mounted on /mnt/onboard.

Also, you'll probably find answers to those on the original thread from a while ago.

[*]What is special about the characters . and / that the "standard" exclusion regex part ([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+) seems to care about? (I know typically . means the current directory and as for / see above questions.)
It's for Unix-style hidden folders/files, which start with a period. I've attached a diagram of the regexp.


Also, if you don't want to deal with this stuff, I have a mod which works on pretty much any firmware version that deals with this from the outside. https://github.com/pgaskin/kobo-mods...otfile-hack-ng
