Code:
[FeatureSettings]
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
You could add the folder name at the end of the exclusions. For instance, if you are using the screensaver toggle and renaming the screensaver directory from screensaver to screensaver_old, the following keeps it from being rescanned:
Code:
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)|(screensaver_old)
Personally, I just use the same library for Nickel/KOReader/Plato. Since Kobo will not see an FB2 book as a known format, they will not show in Nickel.

AFAIK, that does not work though the last time I saw it mentioned in connection with a Kobo was 6 years ago and a reply to the OP stated it did not work for the poster.
