Monitor folders only
Great program, just bought a Pro license. Just wondering if there is any way to monitor folder/subfolder changes only (and not the files within those folders).
Basically, we'd like to get an email alert when any folders or subfolders are moved, renamed or deleted. Without adding every file type to the exception list, is there any way to monitor for changes to folders/subfolders and not get emailed on changes to the files inside those folders?
Reading the initial requirement more carefully, you do not want to get notified on ANY files, just actual directory changes which means a star-dot-star exclusion will be perfect.

Hi Jeff,
I've actually had a requests for this feature before and I've been putting it off. I honestly did not even think about excluding *.* so thanks for that information, I'm sure other users will find that very useful as well.
I will have a look through the code and make sure that using that trick is reliable and if not, I can make some small changes to allow for an option just to monitor the directory and not report on files.

Ah, never mind. It appears that if you add *.* as an exclusion then it will not monitor changes to any files, but *will* monitor changes to folders (and subfolders if that option is selected).
