To expand on this, I have mine set the way that I do because I have a folder of images to use as screensavers, but I don’t always have my screensaver enabled. This pattern hides all files in that folder from being scanned, so that these images do not show up in my library as “books”. See also my “Screensaver Status” and “Toggle Screensaver” items, which reference the folder listed in my ExcludeSyncFolders:

Code:
menu_item : main    : Screensaver Status : cmd_output         : 500 : quiet : test -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
      chain_success                      : dbg_toast          : Screensaver is off
      chain_failure                      : dbg_toast          : Screensaver is on
menu_item : main    : Toggle Screensaver : cmd_output         : 500 : quiet : test -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
      chain_failure : skip : 3
      chain_success                      : cmd_spawn          : quiet: mv /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver
      chain_success                      : dbg_toast          : Screensaver on
      chain_always  : skip : -1
      chain_failure                      : cmd_spawn          : quiet: mv /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
      chain_success                      : dbg_toast          : Screensaver off
